AI Summary
J.T. Ginn pitched a dominant game with 8 strikeouts and just 1 walk through 8 innings, taking a no-hitter into the ninth, but gave up a two-run walk-off homer to Zach Neto after a single by Adam Frazier, resulting in a 2-1 loss to the Angels. Despite the quality start, the outcome was disappointing.
Ginn went from being three outs away from the first no-hitter in 2026 to a loser in the span of two batters. He was dominant over his first eight frames with eight strikeouts and just a walk allowed, but a single by Adam Frazier followed by a two-run blast from Zach Neto ended the night on a sour outcome. It's also worth pointing out that the A's didn't score a run themselves until the ninth inning, so, yeah. Baseball. The ending wasn't desirable, but it was another quality start from Ginn that sees his ERA dip to 2.98 on the season. He gets the Padres on Saturday.
