Springs Shuts Down Mariners Again | Oakland Athletics News

Jeffrey Springs, once a pitcher drowning in stats and losses, stunned the Mariners with a seven-inning shutout on just 81 pitches—two singles his only blemishes. Now, Seattle faces him again Friday, with little left to surprise after their recent loss. George Kirby pitched well enough, but Seattle’s offense stalled until Springs was gone, letting the Athletics pull ahead. Kirby needs sharper command against hitters like Bolte and Muncy, who can turn games on a dime. With playoff hopes on the line, Seattle can’t afford another easy win for Springs or sloppy outings from Kirby—this one’s got to be different.
