Ginn’s Pitching Prowess Amid Loss | Oakland Athletics News

J.T. Ginn kept the A’s in the game despite a 4-0 loss to the Astros, pitching five strong innings and striking out four while relying heavily on his sinker against right-handed hitters. Though he gave up three runs — both tied to costly walks — his manager praised his best stuff in weeks, and Ginn himself felt he pitched his game. With four of his last five outings yielding three runs or fewer, and 17 of 23 starts lasting at least five innings, Ginn is proving himself a rising force for Oakland. The key? Cutting down on those walks — especially to lower-order batters — to turn his solid performances into wins. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
