| Honestly I Had Never Heard of This Guy and He Was Great: The Oakland A's Story |
Cole Irvin, with whom I was not familiar, allowed but three hits and walked one whilst striking out nine in eight innings of work, which would have been a legitimate problem even if Anthony Kay hadn't allowed four runs in the second. But he did! Thornton and Tice pitched very well in relief, it must be said, but Irvin was so good that it didn't much matter: Vladdy was kept off the bases for only the second time all year, and nobody else really did all that much better. Although on the whole a drag, to this game's credit, it was a brisk 2h16min affair, which you'd have to think will be the fastest Blue Jays game we'll see all year, probably, right?
