I think it’s fair to say we all prepared ourselves for the worst when Trevor Cahill took the mound in front of 46,000 fans last Tuesday night.
Lucky for everyone, the 50th anniversary celebration also served as a somewhat of a coming-out party for Cahill, who struck out eight through seven innings of shutout baseball.
We still really can’t say whether Cahill’s start was a short-lived, likely Dave Kaval-orchestrated miracle, or whether he’s back in 2010 form.
Regardless, things seem to be swinging in the A’s favor nowadays. Coming off a 2-1 series win against the league-leading Red Sox, which included some, errr, very good pitching, we’ve got every reason to believe the momentum will carry.
