Tribe falls to Athletics, 5-1
OAKLAND, CALIF. Trevor Bauer paced slowly off the mound after a disastrous second inning, one position player after the next passing him on his way back to the Cleveland Indians dugout.
Moments earlier, a bad inning turned into a disastrous one when first baseman Carlos Santana lost what would have been an inning-ending popup in the sun that went for a two-run error.
The five-run inning turned out to be the difference as Kendall Graveman pitched into the seventh inning to become Oakland’s first 10-game-winner this season, and the Athletics beat the Indians 5-1 on Wednesday to win the series.
