The A’s couldn’t sustain momentum from snapping a 10-game losing streak and lost Sunday in Cleveland.
Myles Straw opened with a single, and came all the way around to score when Rosario’s double rattled into the left field corner. Irvin got the next two hitters, but left an 0-2 pitch in the zone that Naylor hit over the outstretched glove of Elvis Andrus at short for a 5-1 lead. A run-scoring fielders’ choice with the bases loaded against the A’s Adam Oller added another run in the seventh.
“I was trying to be too cute in that first inning, trying to fool guys,” Irvin said. “I wasn’t attacking like I was later in the game. That’s on me 100 percent. All in all I’m pretty critical of myself on this one.” “I was the reason the ball skipped on him on that one,” Irvin said. “Ultimately I should have let him have it. That’s an easy out right there.”Irvin threw 80 pitches in 5 2/3 innings, giving up four earned runs and with a walk and five strikeouts.
Quantrill gave way to Bryan Shaw to open the seventh, having given up four hits and one earned run on the first-inning home run to Laureano. He walked two, struck out four and threw 90 pitches — 61 of them strikes. Emmanuel Clase pitched the ninth for Cleveland for his 11th save.
