The Athletics suffered their worst loss in 10 years on Friday night, falling to the Detroit Tigers 13-1 in an embarrassing contest at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento.
The loss marks the third straight defeat for the Athletics, who struggled to keep up with the Tigers' potent offense. Not a lot of positives emerged from tonight's contest.
The Athletics have been known for their strong pitching, but on Friday night, they were unable to contain the Tigers' lineup. The loss is a setback for a team that had been gaining momentum in the American League West.
The Tigers' victory marked their second win in a row, and they continue to climb the division standings. The Athletics, on the other hand, will need to regroup and refocus for their next match.
