Game 159, Athletics at Mariners – Brash’d Off

Logan Gilbert vs. Frankie Montas, 7:10pm

Everything’s coming up Mariners at the moment. The M’s gamble with Tyler Anderson starting on short rest worked perfectly, and the M’s used all of their bullpen arms to perfection to close out a hard-fought 4-2 win over Oakland. The one guy they *didn’t* use was Matt Brash, who we all thought we’d see. Maybe tonight?

I think I understand the thought process; the M’s didn’t want him to make his debut in what was a very close game for much of the night. It was 2-1 until late, and that’s just asking a lot of a rookie who hasn’t pitched in weeks.
