    A's News Clips, Saturday, April 21, 2012 Oakland A's Fall To

    A’s News Clips, Saturday, April 21, 2012 Oakland A's fall to Cleveland Indians 4-3 By Carl Steward, Oakland Tribune Yoenis Cespedes had a major league first Friday night with his first three-hit game. Alas, according to A's starter Graham Godfrey, he also had a first -- the worst control game of his life. "That may have been the most walks I've ever given up in a game," Godfrey said after he issued five bases on balls and hit two batters in the A's 4-3 loss to the Cleveland Indians before 14,340 fans at the Oakland Coliseum. Godfrey (0-3) gave up all four Indians runs, and three of those runs were a result of batters he either walked or hit. What was particularly frustrating was that he said he had good stuff but just couldn't command it. "Everything felt great, and I made a lot of good pitches that ended up not being called a strike," he said. "I'm a control guy, and that's very uncharacteristic of me. There's something not right, but I still have a lot of confidence in my stuff and I'm looking forward to my next outing." To wit, Godfrey walked just five batters in 25 innings in 2011 with the A's (five appearances, four starts). "He got behind some guys and he's done that a little bit in the past, but he seems to be able to recover," manager Bob Melvin said. "It didn't get out of hand tonight, but it was not his best effort." Former Oakland third baseman Jack Hannahan drove in three of the Indians' runs with a second-inning sacrifice fly and a two-run double in the fourth.
