Oakland A’s reliever earns 1st career win via obscure rule

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:57:13 GMT

By NOAH TRISTERBALTIMORE — Chad Smith’s first major league win came courtesy of a rarely applied official scoring rule.It was an unusual twist at the end of a long day for the Oakland reliever.Smith pitched the final two innings of the Athletics’ 8-4 victory over Baltimore on Wednesday night, holding the Orioles scoreless and allowing only one hit. He entered in the bottom of the eighth, after the A’s had scored three runs in the top of the inning to take a 7-4 advantage.That meant reliever Jeurys Familia — who pitched the bottom of the seventh and was in the game when Oakland took the lead for good — could have been the pitcher of record. But the official scorer chose not to give Familia the win because he was deemed to have had a short, ineffective outing.Familia came on with one out in the seventh, a man on first and Oakland up 4-2. After a passed ball, pinch-hitter Cedric Mullins rolled an RBI single to right, and after a groundout moved Mullins to second, Adley Rutschman hit an...

It was too early for a defensive substitution, and there were no pinch-hitters from the previous inning to re-arrange in the field.But Kapler had an unexpected change to make: outfielder Michael Conforto was taken out of the game after three innings. The Giants later announced that it was left calf tightness that forced Conforto from the game. He was replaced by Bryce Johnson, but an inning later, Johnson had left the game, too.In the span of an inning, the Giants doubled their number of injured outfielders, as Johnson almost immediately put his body on the line with a leaping catch sure to land on highlight reels but that also forced him out of the game. After crashing into the center field wall and being replaced by LaMonte Wade Jr., Johnson was being evaluated for a concussion, the club announced.CATCH OF THE YEAR pic.twitter.co...
