The A’s might be light on All-Stars this year, but Paul Blackburn is quickly emerging as a surprise candidate.
Javier Báez and manager A.J. Hinch were ejected after arguing balls and strikes in the ninth after Báez was called out on strikes.
Oakland’s last two wins also came in shutouts as the A’s blanked the Rangers 2-0 on April 24 and beat the Giants 1-0 thanks to a leadoff home run from Pinder on April 27. The victory against the Giants was keyed by another stellar effort from Blackburn as the right-hander tossed five innings of three-hit ball.
Oakland only finished with six hits in Monday’s series-opener, but three were for extra bases as third baseman Kevin Smith hit a two-out triple in the second inning before Kemp launched his first home run of the season on an 0-1 changeup in the third inning. Catcher Sean Murphy led off the fourth with a double and later scored on Pinder’s RBI single.
