Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said he saw a 'different' James Kaprielian on the mound Saturday, who was tagged with a loss despite a bounce-back, one-run outing.
“I don’t know if anyone noticed, but I moved my hands up in the second inning, just kind of felt more comfortable timing-wise, more on top of the baseball, quicker to the plate,” Kaprielian said. “And then stuff started to play up a little bit because of it … It’s kind of a mixture of things.”
Saturday’s loss marked the second straight game the A’s fell by a one-run margin, and the first two games of the three-game series with Minnesota have seen Oakland hitters strike out 26 times at the plate. Kotsay expressed optimism“It’s a part of this grind that we’re in,” Kotsay said after the game. “... There in the ninth again, we got guys on base. So these guys are continuing to fight.
