Gavin Sheets came about as close as a baseball player not named Shohei Ohtani can to winning a game by himself.
Sean Murphy started the game by making quick work of the quick-working Johnny Cueto. The A’s catcher took the 36 year-old veteran deep for a first-inning solo home run. Seth Brown followed up Murphy in the third with his 15th home run of the year and third bomb in two nights, giving A’s starter Paul Blackburn a two-run cushion to work with.
“We’ve talked about mechanical adjustments, and that even when he’s not right, and that he’s still competing,” manager Mark Kotsay told reporters before the game. Blackburn ran into more trouble in the next inning. Two runners got on with no outs in the fifth. Blackburn then channeled his All-Star form to work his way out of a jam. Gavin Sheets popped up, Josh Harrison struck out and then smashed his bat into pieces in frustration, and then former batting champion Tim Anderson whiffed on a breaking ball to end the inning.
