“I was hoping that it would just kind of go away,” he said. He said the discomfort progressively got worse and affected his ability to extend his finger and finish pitches. A first-time All-Star this season, Blackburn injured his right middle finger before his July 13 start at Texas. Boyd could join Seattle’s bullpen in the next week or two.Īthletics: RHP Paul Blackburn (torn finger tendon) said he pitched through pain during his final four starts before being shut down for the season Tuesday. He’ll extend to two innings in his next outing, Servais said. Mariners: LHP Matthew Boyd (flexor tendon strain) has turned in two scoreless one-inning relief appearances in his rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma. Ruiz was a high-profile international signee out of Cuba in 2016, getting a $2 million signing bonus from Oakland, but he’d posted a 5.08 ERA over four-plus minor league seasons until cutting down on the walks this season and earning his first trip to the majors. The right-hander had a rough major league debut, allowing four runs, two earned, on six hits in 1 2/3 innings. Oakland promoted reliever Norge Ruiz, making him the 10th rookie on the A’s current 13-man pitching staff. But Matt Brash relieved Gonzales and struck out pinch-hitter Vimael Machin and retired another pinch-hitter, Tony Kemp, on a fielder’s-choice grounder. The A’s trailed 6-2 when they loaded the bases with one out in the sixth. So the line looks bad, but he pitched way better than the line.” “We make a play defensively for him in the sixth inning, we’re out of the inning. “I thought outside of one hitter in that lineup that did all the damage, Cole pitched great,” A’s manager Mark Kotsay said. Irvin was tagged for six runs, five earned, over six innings, but shortstop Nick Allen misplayed a potential inning-ending double play in the sixth that preceded Suarez’s three-run shot. That includes 10 straight to the Mariners at the Oakland Coliseum, tied for the team’s second-longest home losing streak to one team since the franchise moved to Oakland in 1968. Oakland scored twice off Gonzales in the first to take a 2-1 lead but went silent after that, losing to Seattle for the 20th time in 23 meetings. “(But) he really controls the strike zone pretty well. “He is streaky, you know? We knew that when we acquired him,” Servais said. But Mariners manager Scott Servais said Suarez is a huge boost because of his power and personality. He also leads the majors in strikeouts with 158. Suarez has 22 homers this season, his first with Seattle, and 151 since 2018, the most in the majors during that span. He's been taking early batting practice and running throughout the week.Suarez went deep twice off left-hander Cole Irvin (6-11), hitting a two-run homer in the fourth that put Seattle ahead 3-2 and then lining a three-run shot to center in the sixth to make it 6-2. Lewis experienced a wide array of concussion symptoms in the aftermath of the injury and said he had to essentially remain in a bed for a week afterward. Lewis suffered a concussion when a pitch from Houston Astros reliever José Urquidy caught him in the jaw on May 28. Lewis took early batting practice and ran the bases again on Thursday as he continues to ramp up his workload. – Outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Lewis is closing in on a rehab assignment.
