OAKLAND — Daniel Gossett has had issues with home runs allowed all season. He conquered the long ball on Friday, but it was still a bad night.
While Gossett did not allow a home run for the first time since June 24, the rookie did allow season-highs with nine hits and three walks in just 3 2/3 innings. Gossett was pulled with two outs in the fourth inning after the Minnesota Twins scored their fifth run of the game en route to a 6-3 victory over the A’s in what turned out to be Gossett’s second-shortest outing of his career.
