A loss in the bottom of the ninth…

today in baseball Oakland 4, Cleveland 5 at Jacobs Field

Winning Pitcher – Bob Howry (1-0)
Losing Pitcher – Octavio Dotel (1-5)

OAK Runs: 4, Hits: 9, Errors: 2
CLE Runs: 5, Hits: 6, Errors: 0

Oakland Record: (46-38)

The good news: Eric Chavez ROCKED! He had two hits and made a fantastic play. Kirk Saarloos pitched a great game, allowing two hits and just one run in six and two thirds innings. He left the game with a lead.

The bad news: The bullpen choked. Again. Dotel crumbled this time. It was horrible to watch. Grrrr!!!
