Downward spiral continues for Athletics as they hit the road, but Mason Miller’s debut was encouraging.
Chicago broke through against Miller for a run in the fourth when Ian Happ doubled home Dansby Swanson, who had walked. They got another run in the fifth when Eric Hosmer led off with an infield single and eventually came around to score on a sacrifice fly by Tucker Barnhart. It was the last hitter Miller faced.
“I knew I was going to be OK out there,” Miller said. “I’m glad to get the first one out of the way and now I can get back to focusing on pitching and getting guys out. I’m happy with how my outing went today. There’s some things I’d like to change, but I try not to be super critical of it today and just enjoy the moment.”
“He was really calm. Seemed like himself,” Langeliers said. “Even in the game plan, he had certain things he wanted to do with certain hitters and it was impressive, especially for a debut, to juts come in with that calmness with information like that.”“He throws a fastball that really, really gets on you,” Barnhart said. “That’s obvious with the velocity, but the metric side of things is pretty special. He was landing breaking balls and throwing cutters to lefties.
The sweep was on the same level as the A’s earlier three-game trip to Tampa Bay, where they were thoroughly dominated in every area, scored five runs and gave up 31. The A’s were outscored 26-3 over three games against the Cubs, with Chicago getting 39 hits to 15 for the A’s. Cubs hitters batted .336 over the three games to .165 for the A’s.
