Same story, different day.
The MLB-worst Oakland A’s lost again on Wednesday, by a lot, and without scoring any runs. This time they fell 9-0 to the Seattle Mariners, at home at the Coliseum.
The pitching didn’t go well. All-Star candidate Paul Blackburn got hammered in by far his worst start of the year so far, both in terms of his shortest duration and most runs allowed. The right-hander was lifted with nobody out in the 5th inning, and when the dust settled there were seven runs charged to him. There were homers, there were doubles, there was lots of hard contact, oh my.
