Stone has a 7.15 ERA in his past five starts after lasting just four innings in a 6-5 loss to the A’s. Shohei Ohtani makes it close with a three-run home run in the ninth inning.
Dodgers starting pitcher Gavin Stone, right, hands the ball over to Manager Dave Roberts as he exits during the fifth inning of their 6-5 loss to the Oakland A’s on Friday night in Oakland. Stone allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk in four-plus innings. OAKLAND — It’s not pretty – the crumbling infrastructure, empty spaces and focus on a future with more resources that can only get better.
Getting by with spare parts and leftovers while an assortment of All-Stars and key players occupy the injured list is not going very well for them lately. They managed fewer hits than the Oakland A’s had home runs in the first six innings on Friday night, closed late on a three-run home run by Shohei Ohtani but lost, 6-5, to the woebegone but surging A’s.
Teoscar Hernandez’s two-run home run in the first inning gave the Dodgers an early lead. But the next 15 Dodgers went down in order against A’s starter Joey Estes. By the time they had another baserunner – on back-to-back two-out walks of Will Smith and Gavin Lux in the sixth inning – the A’s had chased Gavin Stone from the game and built their lead.
It started with solo home runs by Shea Langeliers and Seth Brown in the fourth inning that tied the score. Stone walked leadoff man Lawrence Butler to start the fifth inning, gave up a triple to Miguel Andujar and a double to J.J. Bleday.
