Oakland lost the first game out of the All-Star break 7-2 to the Detroit Tigers.
The starting pitching in this matchup was solid for both teams, but the Tigers played a cleaner game on defense than Oakland did. If you give extra outs to a major-league club, they’ll take advantage. It’s also hard to win when you only get five hits.
Logue solid, defense not
Making his second start against the Tigers this year, Logue looked good early, striking out the first batter of the second half to get things rolling. He only allowed a walk in the first two innings.
