On the A’s podcast with Jeremiah:

#1 It’s not often you get to see a pitcher go the distance but the Oakland A’s (30-22) starter Chris Bassitt went wire to wire on Thursday night to throw a two hit 5-0 shutout against the Los Angeles Angels (22-28) at the Oakland Coliseum.

#2 Jeremiah, Bassitt had all his pitches working for him and you have to in order to get a shutout

#3 Bassitt also struck out nine batters and walked only one batter and that right there tells you he kept the Angels off balance at the plate.

#4 It was a 0-0 game for most of the way until the last of the sixth inning when the A’s scored five runs all the runs they needed to win the ball game.

#5 Taking a look at the starters for tonight’s game at the Coliseum for the Angels Shohei Ohtani (1-0 ERA 2.37) and for the A’s Sean Manaea (3-2 ERA 4.17) talk about this match up.
