• Athletics' Mike Fiers: Takes loss as long reliever

  09/29/2018 • By RotoWire Staff

  Fiers (12-8) allowed six earned runs on seven hits and a hit batsman over 3.1 innings in a loss to the Angels on Friday. He struck out three. Fiers followed Lou Trivino, who served as the opener Friday. The long-relief role didn't exactly suit him, however, as he was tagged for home runs by Taylor Ward and Mike Trout, and for a trio of two-baggers by Jose Fernandez, Shohei Ohtani and Kole Calhoun. It was a relatively rare stumble for Fiers since arriving in Oakland, as he'd managed five quality starts in nine outings prior to Friday and had given up more than three earned runs only once. Despite Fiers' struggles, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports that he remains the likely starter for next Wednesday's AL Wild Card game in Yankee Stadium.

  Fiers won't make his scheduled start Friday against the Angels.

Lou Trivino will get the nod but figures to toss between 1-to-2 frames.
