Summary
J.T. Ginns No-Hitter Bid Falls Short as As Lose to Padres: A Tale of High Pitch Count and Missed Opportunities J.T. Ginn, the Athletics pitcher who recently came close to a no-hitter, had a disappointing outing on Saturday. He walked six batters, a career high, and was removed after just two and a third innings. The Padres managed to score one run off him, and the As lost the game 2-0. The second inning was particularly challenging for Ginn, who threw forty-five pitches in that frame alone. He faced sixteen foul balls from the Padres, and despite escaping with only one run scoring, the heavy workload took a toll on him, leading to his early exit in the third. Manager Mark Kotsay described Ginns performance as a bad day and noted that he just didnt have command of anything. Ginn himself admitted it was out of character, as he prides himself on throwing strikes. The heavy workload in that second inning was historic, with forty-five or more pitches in an inning being a rare occurrence for an As pitcher. Despite the loss, the As bullpen pitched well, throwing five and two-thirds scoreless innings. The offense also outhit the Padres, but they struggled with runners in scoring position, leaving eight runners on base and going zero for seven in those crucial situations. Adding a bit of drama, the As faced their former closer, Mason Miller, for the first time since he was traded to San Diego. Miller shut down his old team in the ninth inning, sealing the win for the Padres. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
