Oakland wastes strong outing from starter JP Sears, who struck out eight in seven innings, in its 6-1 defeat.
CLEVELAND, OH – JUNE 22: Ryan Noda #49 of the Oakland Athletics reacts after striking out against Enyel De Los Santos #62 of the Cleveland Guardians during the eighth inning at Progressive Field on June 22, 2023 in Cleveland, Ohio. CLEVELAND — The Oakland A’s lost for the eighth straight time Thursday afternoon when the Cleveland Guardians rode Josh Bell’s mammoth home run to a 6-1 victory and a three-game sweep.
“We’re going to continue to work,” vowed manager Mark Kotsay, whose team led in every game in the series. “We’re going to continue to grind. We’ve seen some of the benefits with the winning streak we went through. We know we can compete and we know we can win.” Bell’s 430-foot shot in the fifth inning off JP Sears smacked the “H” on the beer sign affixed to a pedestrian walkway in Progressive Field and tied it 1-1.
Nick Sandlin pitched two hitless innings in relief of Cleveland starter Logan Allen. Enyel De Los Santos worked two innings — getting a double play to end the seventh — and Eli Morgan finished the combined three-hitter.
