  • A's News Clips, Sunday, August 15, 2010 Oakland A's Waste
    A’s News Clips, Sunday, August 15, 2010 Oakland A's waste another sterling pitching effort By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune The A's got another stellar effort from one of their young starting pitchers Saturday night, which leads to an interesting question. What might their season look like with some consistent offense to back up that pitching? The A's were held to three hits by Minnesota Twins left-hander Brian Duensing and advanced just one runner as far as second base in a 2-0 loss before 40,830 fans at Target Field. Duensing faced just two batters over the minimum in a game that wrapped in 2 hours, 15 minutes. Duensing's first career shutout saddled A's right-hander Trevor Cahill with a hard-luck defeat. Cahill (12-5) allowed just one run on six hits over seven innings and did some nifty work to avoid more damage. Over the past seven games, Oakland's starting rotation has posted a 1.41 ERA but has a 3-4 record to show for it. The A's have averaged just 2.6 runs over that span and have been shut out twice on a six-game trip that ends today. Their overall staff entered Saturday leading the American League with a 3.61 ERA. Conversely, they rank 12th out of 14 AL teams in runs scored and 13th in slugging percentage after Saturday's defeat. "We've got to start getting runs for all those guys," A's manager Bob Geren said. "We have the best young rotation in baseball, and it continues to improve.
