Oakland A’s pitchers shine, prevent sweep with win over Toronto Blue Jays
OAKLAND — The Oakland A’s are three losses away from their third 100-loss season since the team moved out West 55 years ago. But through the historic lows are glimmers of promise that showed up in the A’s 5-2 sweep-preventing win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday afternoon in front of a crowd of 3,871.
The new crop of budding core — Zack Gelof, Lawrence Butler, Tyler Soderstrom — labeled themselves “New Oakland,” but a relocation will have them playing anywhere from a minor league stadium in Las Vegas to San Francisco or a desolate Coliseum while a new Las Vegas ballpark is built. JP Sears — acquired from the Yankees last year in a bundle for Frankie Montas and Lou Trivino — didn’t have his best fastball, but tempered a powerful Blue Jays roster with his changeup in his team-leading 28th start of the season. Sears is coming off a rough August in which he posted a 8.25 ERA, but has given up one earned run over his last 11 innings pitched in September. That includes a five-inning outing in which he allowed one run against the Blue Jays on Wednesday.
Then there’s Mason Miller, who was activated off the 60-day IL with elbow tightness and dealt two perfect innings and struck out the side in his second inning, touching 102 mph with his four-seam fastball on Wednesday. He was limited to 50 pitches out of the bullpen, but has the stuff to contend as one of the nastier starters in MLB.Estuery Ruiz singled and stole his 57th and 58th bases in one trip around the basepaths — he leads the American League in stolen bases.
