On Wednesday night, the Oakland Athletics defeated the Los Angeles Angels by a score of 4-1. Powering the Athletics win was starting pitcher A.J. Griffin, who threw eight scoreless innings. Griffin’s performance marked a significant historical achievement, as he became just the second pitcher in the last 85 years for the Athletics franchise to begin his major league career with six consecutive victories. Yoenis Cespedes also contributed to the Oakland offense by hitting a home run during the game.
