Indians fall to Oakland
CLEVELAND
Vin Mazzaro pitched like an All-Star in order to beat one.
The Oakland Athletics’ young right-hander worked into the eighth inning and upstaged Cleveland All-Star Fausto Carmona on Sunday in a 3-1 victory over the Indians.
“He was pretty unhittable for a period there,” Oakland manager Bob Geren said. “Today was a lot better than any of his starts.”
Mazarro (4-2) won his second straight outing, allowing just the one run on seven hits in 7 1-3 innings. He tied the longest start of his career set in June 2009 against Baltimore.
“I felt strong,” Mazzaro said. “I could’ve went more, but the bullpen came in and did the job.”
