One pitcher to pay attention to this year: A's pitcher Trevor Cahill.
The 21-year-old rookie right-hander has been solid this season, pitching to a 2.60 ERA in three starts.
However, Cahill has nothing to show for his efforts thus far, as he is only 0-1 in those three outings. The A's lost two of those, including Saturday's game against the Blue Jays, 4-2 in 12 innings.
Prior to that, Cahill took a no-hitter into the seventh inning--in just his second major-league start--before Adrian Beltre broke it up with a single.
Not only that, Cahill ended up with the loss when Beltre scored on Mike Sweeney's double later in the inning. The M's Erik Bedard didn't allow a run in his 8 1/3 innings, giving Cahill the hard-luck defeat.
On Saturday against the Blue Jays, the A's rookie finally had some runs to work with, but it wasn't meant to be. Oakland gave Cahill two one-run leads, but he was chased in the sixth inning after surrendering a double to Lyle Overbay and Travis Snider's game-tying RBI single.
Unfortunately for Cahill, the A's used up all their runs the night before (Oakland defeated the Blue Jays 8-5 on Friday night).
It was the same story prior to the 1-0, near no-hit game as well. The A's had plated three runs in the second inning--and five overall--against Mariners ace Felix Hernandez the night before, which was the same game where Jason Giambi asked to be lifted because of tired legs.
Will Cahill get some run support this season? I mean, he's been pitching well, so we'll see...
