Despite a strong effort from Mitch Spence, the Oakland Athletics ended up just one run away from sweeping the Kansas City Royals.
Bringing a 3.69 ERA/3.31 FIP as a starter into today’s outing, the A’s latest Rule 5 success story threw 6 innings of two-run ball while striking out 7 Royals along the way.
