Walks, a balk, injuries and hit batters all part of Oakland A’s ugly and bizarre loss to Yankees
OAKLAND – Oakland A’s starting pitcher James Kaprielian didn’t get the call he was looking for with one out in the second inning, as a fastball that appeared to catch the bottom of the strike zone on a 2-2 count against Isiah Kiner-Falefa was instead called ball three.
“The at-bat to , he made a really good pitch,” A’s manager Mark Kotsay said of Kaprielian. “It could have changed the momentum of that inning. Unfortunately, gets that hit, and the momentum just kept going.”Skye Bolt left after the seventh inning with a right knee contusion after he was hit by a Greg Weissert pitch. What the A’s do with Bolt will be determined Friday, Kotsay said.
Infielder Sheldon Neuse assumed pitching duties for the A’s and with overhand throws that barely eclipsed 40 mph, retired five straight Yankees batters.“Just turn the page on this game,” Kotsay said. “A lot of things happened tonight that were interesting, I’ll say it that way. Thirteen to four in a game where guys were hit, a guy made his Major League debut on the mound for the Yankees.
“Not throwing enough strikes, too many walks, fighting myself a little bit to get the job done,” Kaprielian said. “Just put the team in a bad position from the start.Shea Langeliers provided one of the A’s lone offensive highlights, as he hit his second career home run, a 419-foot blast to left in the sixth inning off Yankees starter Jameson Taillon. That cut New York’s lead to 10-1.
Weissert then hit Bolt, walked Tony Kemp to load the bases, and walked Vimael Machín to bring in the A’s second run.
