Oakland Athletics: Detroit Tigers Series Recap, Analysis and Roster Moves

Series Recap

The Athletics' four games with the Detroit Tigers seemed much more like a pair of two-game series.

The A's offense in the first two games was nearly nonexistent. Despite a strong pitching performance in the opener from Gio Gonzalez, the A's could not score off Tigers' starter Phil Coke, and the A's fell 3-0.

Game two saw the A's carry a 1-0 lead into the ninth inning, but a home run from Miguel Cabrera sent the game into extra innings. A woeful 10th inning saw the A's commit three errors and yield seven runs to the Tigers who went on to win, 8-4.
