Series Notes
-Street is on the DL, Flores was called up...closer by committee for now

[Providence A's]

Ugh, Haren gave up 2 homers in the 1st. 3 - 0 Jays in the 2nd.

[Providence A's]

Haren just doesn't have it tonight...gave up 5 more runs in the 2nd. He's still in there as of now...the A's got 2 runs back in the 3rd so far. 8 - 2 Jays.

edit: 8 - 4 now as Kielty just homered off the guy he was traded for.

edit2: Bradley just homered to make it back-to-back...8 - 5 now

[Rufio181]

Haren is getting smacked around big time.

[Rufio181]

And Oakland is catching back up.

[Providence A's]

8 - 7 going into the bottom of the 4th.

[A'sDiehard]

Wow I left work and it was 8-0 and I get home and it's 8-7.

Got a 6:30 so I'll be back after that.

[Providence A's]

11 - 8 A's now going into the bottom of the 6th. Haren has settled down since the 2nd and can get the win now lol

[Providence A's]

11 - 10 after 6...Haren pitched 5 and 2/3 giving up 9 earned...still can get the win lol...Sauerbeck gave up the other run without getting an out.

[Molina00]

That is some kind of crazy game. So much for Haren's sub-4 ERA.
You can't pitch a much worse game and still have a shot at a win. lol
My boy Cat is having a good game at 2 for 3 with a couple of runs scored.

[Providence A's]

That is some kind of crazy game. So much for Haren's sub-4 ERA.

Actually, his ERA is still 3.79...he's been solid most of the year...the fact that he gave up 9 earned in less than 6 innings and his ERA is only goes up to 3.79 shows how solid he has been.

11 - 10 A's after 7.

[Providence A's]

11 - 10 after 8 innings...

edit: Payton just homered to make it 12 - 10.

[Providence A's]

A's comeback from being down 8 - 0 and win 12 - 10. Haren gets a win with the offense bailing him out after screwing him a few times in June or whatever...it all balances out more or less. 12 - 9 with a 3.79 ERA now. Duke got the save with both Gaudin and Calero getting a hold.

[Providence A's]

Halsey was called up to start tonight...Flores was sent down. I hope they got him a frequent flier card or something

[A'sDiehard]

Great win last night. Like I said I don't care how just keep winning.

Kotsay just made a great catch and it's 1-1 after three.
