Athletics rally for Outman's 4th
In Oakland Monday night, the Athletics recovered from a 3-0 deficit, to take a 4-3 win from the Twins as Josh Outman improved to 4-0 on the year. Outman went 6 innings, pitching very well outside of the 3-run 3rd, going 6 overall, and giving up just the 3 runs on 6 hits and 2 walks, striking out 7 to remain undefeated with a very nice 3.17 ERA this year. It was the 6th straight start in which Josh gave the A's at least 6 innings.
The Royals have sent Robinson Tejeda to Northwest Arkansas on a rehab assignment. Robinson has had right rotator cuff tendonitis and is hoping to return by mid-month.
