Oakland A’s manage only four hits and see potential trade chip Frankie Montas exit after one inning in 2-1 loss to Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park
The Oakland A’s finished one of the most dreadful first halves in their history Sunday, but the focus after their 2-1 loss to the Seattle Mariners was largely on the health of starting pitcher Frankie Montas.
If Oakland duplicates its first-half record in the second half, it’ll lose 110 games, a total not experienced by an A’s team since the 1916 Philadelphia A’s went 36-117. Oakland hosts Toronto for three games starting Monday. “I don’t have any concern,” Montas said. “I don’t think it’s anything bad, just probably some inflammation. Didn’t have enough time to recover .”
Montas’ fastball got up to 99 mph on June 23 when he no-hit the Mariners through 7.2 innings at the Coliseum. Montas pitched eight scoreless, but the A’s allowed two runs in the ninth and lost to Seattle 2-1. Reliever Austin Pruitt kept the A’s in the game. After he took over for Montas, Pruitt retired 12 straight batters from the second to the fifth inning, collecting six strikeouts.
