Athletics keep their perfect record in reverse — they haven’t won a series this season.
A 4-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs Tuesday night at the Coliseum before a crowd of 5,196 ensured their sixth consecutive series loss to open the season. No other A’s team, be it Philadelphia or Kansas City, ever began a season by losing the first six series.
Marcus Stroman and three relievers held the A’s to just two hits, with Mark Leiter Jr. getting the win with a scoreless seventh preceding Chicago’s only rally. “It was a big relief,” Waldichuk said. “Things probably could have snowballed out of control there and once I got out of there I knew I was going to have a chance to go later in that game.”
Relievers Sam Moll and James Kaprielian each put up a zero until the Cubs broke through against Trevor May in the eighth. Yan Gomes was next, and with the infield in, his slow chopper to short was enough to bring home Wisdom to give the Cubs a 2-0 lead. That was it for May, who gave way to left-hander Richard Lovelady.
