Oakland A’s open homestand with 4-3 loss to Seattle Mariners
Oakland Athletics’ Abraham Toro watches his RBI single during the third inning of a baseball game against the Seattle Mariners in Oakland, Calif., Tuesday, June 4, 2024. OAKLAND – The Oakland A’s announced a paid crowd of 5,624 at the Coliseum for their game Tuesday night against the Seattle Mariners. That barely outdrew the Oakland Ballers, who attracted a crowd of about 4,100 for a Pioneer League game at newly refurbished Raimondi Park, roughly seven miles away.
“ pitching staff is one of the better pitching staffs in the league. They don’t give up too many free bases,” A’s manager Mark Kotsay said. “We had a chance tonight against their ‘pen. But at the end of the day … we couldn’t get the big hit tonight.” Tuesday’s crowd saw the Mariners score three runs in the top of the third on four doubles off of A’s starter Mitch Spence, who lasted six innings. The A’s responded with single runners in the bottom of the third and sixth innings.
After the Mariners scored a run in the top of the fourth, thanks in part to Oakland’s MLB-worst 44th error of the season, the A’s loaded the bases in the bottom half. But on a 1-2 count, Kirby got Gelof swinging on an 87-mph slider. Spence might be in the rotation for a while, with starters Paul Blackburn , Joe Boyle , Ross Stripling , Alex Wood , and Ken Waldichuk all on the injured list.
