Former Heritage High of Oakley star hopes to continue his hot start when he makes his first appearance in San Francisco.
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Paul Blackburn delivers to the Tampa Bay Rays during the second inning of a baseball game Monday, April 11, 2022, in St. Petersburg, Fla. SAN FRANCISCO — Paul Blackburn has made countless trips to Oracle Park over the years. When you grow up in the Bay Area as a huge Giants fan, it comes with the territory.
The former Heritage High of Oakley star will be standing on the mound making his fourth start of the season for the A’s and his first ever appearance in the stadium he visited as a kid while watching his biggest heroes, Barry Bonds and Jason Schmidt. The 28-year-old admits he’ll probably be a little nervous, but then again, “That’s every start,” he said with a smile. “I’m more anxious. It’s exciting.”
In a season of surprises so far, Blackburn’s emergence belongs at the top of them for the A’s. He’s been flat-out dominant, going exactly five innings in each of his three starts while compiling a 2-0 record with a pristine 1.80 ERA, and a more impressive 0.80 WHIP.“He’s been great,” Murphy said. “Locating all of his pitches, pitching up in the zone. … just great so far.”
