The Oakland A’s lost possibly their final season opener at the Coliseum on Thursday night as 13,522 saw the Cleveland Guardians win 8-0 in manager Stephen Vogt’s debut.
Oakland Athletics’ Ryan Noda loses control of the ball while applying the tag to Cleveland Guardians’ Austin Hedges at first base in the fourth inning of their MLB opening day game at the Coliseum in Oakland, Calif., on Thursday, March 28, 2024. OAKLAND – One of the smallest Opening Day crowds in the Oakland A’s 57-year history showed Thursday night for possibly their final season debut at the Coliseum — an 8-0 shutout loss to the Cleveland Guardians.
Seven of the A’s first nine batters struck out, and Guardians’ starter Shane Bieber totaled 11 strikeouts while shutting out the A’s on four hits through six innings. It was the A’s first Opening Day shutout loss since 2014, when Cleveland won 2-0 here. And this one made for a victorious debut for Guardians’ manager Stephen Vogt, who ended his playing career here two years ago with a home run for the A’s in his final at-bat.
Back-to-back, second-inning doubles by David Fry and Tyler Freeman put the A’s in a 1-0 hole. The A’s sought to answer as J.D. Davis reached on a one-out, opposite-field single in the ex-Giants’ cross-bay debut; Bieber struck out the next two batters he faced, giving him six Ks through two frames.
