OAKLAND — For the second night in a row, the A's picked up a one-run victory over the Detroit Tigers. Oakland improved to 21-9 in one-run games, the best record in the majors.
That should be to no one's surprise, given the strength of the bullpen. Blake Treinen and Lou Trivino combined for the final eight outs Saturday night, as they often do.
Oakland is the only team in MLB that is undefeated when leading after seven innings, now 45-0. They are 53-0 when leading after eight.
