#FilthyFrankie almost made the record books today
The A’s wasted the best performance from one of their starting pitchers this year, blowing a ninth-inning lead and losing 2-1 to the Seattle Mariners to secure the home sweep.
The player of the game was easily Frankie Montas, as the right-hander came within four outs of throwing the ninth no-hitter in Oakland history. He almost carried the A’s to a win before a long road trip but the offense just couldn’t get him any insurance for eight innings and a pair of relievers didn’t allow a hit and still blew the lead. The A’s are finding new ways to lose.
