you can see that colon only allowed 1 run in the last game and the bullpen allowed the other 6
sherzer allowed all 6 runs in that game
play is a's or a's first five
detroit had all the regulars that game too, miggy, fielder, v mart, jackson. t hunter came in late

oak did a really good job of making scherzer throw a lot of pitches, even the gm he was good they had him out by the 6th.. of coarse oak typically does a good job of that, they like the al cardinals...

from the article about chili:

They also have 362 home runs. Only the Orioles, Yankees, Blue Jays and Rangers have more since the start of 2012. In Oakland's previous two seasons, it combined for 223. Tied with the Padres, there's was the third-lowest mark in all of baseball.

"I think Chili's doing a great job. Obviously the numbers have shown," Norris said. "It could be a coincidence, but ever since he came here, we've hit a lot more home runs, and it's tough to do with the places we play. He's here for a reason. He's a good influence on us. He's a very intelligent person, not just in baseball but in life, and he's a good person for us to look up to."
