In stark contrast to the first two games of the series, today's game was hitless from both sides into the fourth inning. The A's scored just 1 run in the first 5 innings despite 6 walks from Brad Peacock, who threw a career-high 106 pitches. Daniel Gossett was decent through five innings -- only giving up two runs -- but in the end was on the hook for three more runs scored in the fifth.
Despite consecutive two-out walks in the first, the A's were unable to score.
Cue the bottom of the inning, when thanks to some Reddick-esque work in right field, Matt Joyce robbed spiderman himself of a solo shot.
