Tommy Milone pitched six shut out innings as the Oakland Athletics continued to hand the Cleveland Indians another loss. The Athletics pitchers gave up 8 hits but the Indians couldn’t score any runs. The Athletics handed the Indians their second shut out in a row. The A’s got on the board scoring 2 runs in the second inning then they scored 2 more in the third. The team was able to gang up on Zach McAllister the Indians starter for 9 hits and 5 earned runs in the 4-1/3 innings he pitched.
Chris Carter had a good night at the plate, he went 3 for 5 with 3 R.B.I.’s, Carter hit a home run in the 5th and a double in the 9th. The Athletics take on the Indians 2 more times this week, the Indians probably should just send up the white flag. Oakland remains 5-1/2 games behind the Texas Rangers in the A. L. West, the team has 71 wins and losses on the season.
