2014 – Battling to stay alive in the AL Central, the Indians suffer a demoralizing loss after they rally from a 4 – 0 1st-inning deficit against defending Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer of the Tigers.

Oakland hopes their new slugger, a 34 year-old two-time All-Star with 460 career homers, can provide some offensive punch for the contending team, which recently has been slumping.

The Angels use eight different pitchers – a team record for a nine-inning game – in shutting out the A’s, 2 – 0. Reliever Cory Rasmus gets things going by pitching the first three innings, and a different pitcher is used for each of the last 5 innings. In the 4th, Michael Roth gets himself in a bases loaded, one out jam, but Yoslan Herrera induced Jonny Gomes to hit into an inning-ending double play and is the one who ends up with credit for the win. Ironically, for the A’s, Jeff Samardzija throws a complete game but loses, a loss that increases the Angels’ lead in the AL West to four games.
