The A’s matched 2022’s loss total on Saturday — but still have 14 games left to play in 2023
The youthful A’s lost their third straight game on Saturday afternoon and tied last season’s mark with their 102nd loss, falling 5-2 to the San Diego Padres.
Waldron, 26, primarily pitches a knuckleball and earned the win by only allowing two runs over 5 1/3 innings. He became the first pitcher to use a knuckleball while earning a win in nearly five years . Allen’s double and Gelof’s homer were their only hits on the day, though rookie outfielder Lawrence Butler added two singles and Ryan Noda knocked in Oakland’s first run in the third with a sac fly. In only his fourth start of September, Tyler Soderstrom went 1-for-3 as the designated hitter.
Luis Medina came in after Miller and allowed three runs in 3 2/3 innings. Medina allowed two hits and walked four, but struck out seven on the day.
