6-7 (loss)

Eleven games under .500.  That is what happens when you try the same things over and over and expect different results.  Crisp was a failure at the top of the order, and the bullpen or "blowpen" let this game slip away in the seventh inning with yet another atrocious performance in an impossible to believe 1 run ball game, at which the Athletics have excelled in losing this year.  The A's are 1-12 in 1 run ball games and now percentage wise are the worst team in the majors.
