The Oakland Athletics were unable to generate much offense Saturday in a 4-2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians.
Ken Waldichuk came into the game looking to bounce back after a couple of rough appearances, but found himself quickly in trouble against the Guardians. Steven Kwan led off the first inning with a double and then came around to score on a two-run home run by Jose Ramirez.
Waldichuk retired Oscar Gonzalez to start the second, but then walked Gabriel Arias and then gave up another two-run shot to Mike Zunino. He then took a line drive to his non-pitching arm off the bat of Myles Straw.
