On the Oakland A’s podcast with Barbara:
#1 Minnesota Twins starter Pablo Lopez had a perfect game going into the seventh inning against the Oakland until Oakland A’s Lawrence Butler hit a seventh inning single to break it up.
#2 Lopez needless to say had command of his pitches 14 strikeouts for a career high in eight innings of shutout ball. Lopez’s line eight innings, two hits and 14 strikeouts.
#3 Lopez had retired the first 17 batters he faced giving up two singles and a walk. With 14 strikeouts going the A’s line up just were off balance all game long.
#4 With the loss the A’s drop 6-17 and A’s starter Hogan Harris gets pinned with the loss he drops his record to 1-1. Harris allowed three runs and five hits in the 3-0 loss.
#5 The A’s hope to turn the page against the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night. Starting pitcher for the A’s RHP Luis Medina (1-2, ERA 4.71) for the Angels Griffin Canning (2-8, ERA 5.02) first pitch 6:38pm PT at the Big A in Anaheim.
