MLB: Oakland A’s reliever Lucas Erceg allowed a two-out double to Gio Urshela in the eighth inning
Oakland Athletics pitcher Dany Jiménez is relieved during the seventh inning of a baseball game against the Detroit Tigers, Friday, April 5, 2024, in Detroit. DETROIT — Gio Urshela’s two-out double in the eighth inning brought in the go-ahead run and the Detroit Tigers defeated the Oakland Athletics 5-4 in their home opener on Friday.
“It builds self-belief that we are gritty and we can win, no matter what,” Torkelson said. “Obviously, we’d like it to be 10-1 but sometimes it’s going to be 4-3, 5-4. Whatever it is, we believe we can win.” After Oakland tied the game at 4-all with two runs in the seventh, Urshela delivered his decisive double off Lucas Erceg to bring in Torkelson, who led off with a double.
“He was really in the zone the first five innings,” Oakland manager Mark Kotsay said of Skubal. “His changeup was really effective. In the sixth, he started to lose a little bit of command and then we took advantage of the mistake in the zone.”
