The team had a chance for a much needed sweep while playing on the road, but unfortunately mother nature had some other plans, as the game was suspended in the middle of the seventh inning and must be completed at a later date.
In the top of the first, the A’s went down 1-2-3 with two strikeouts against Tigers’ starter/opener Gregory Soto, who had an ERA over 13.00 entering this morning’s game. The top of the first properly set up the bottom half of the frame, where Mike Fiers gave up a hard hit line drive down the right field line for a triple to the first batter he faced.
