Lopez Goes 7 Strong, Ends Historic A's Starter Futility Streak
The Athletics lefty delivered the longest outing by an Oakland starter in 43 games, a franchise-record drought of quality length.
Jacob Lopez tossed seven innings and allowed just two runs against Tampa Bay, giving the Athletics their first start of 6.2+ innings in 44 games. The previous 43-game stretch without a starter reaching 6.1 IP was the longest in A's franchise history. The performance signals a potential stabilization of Oakland's rotation depth. Beat reporter Martín Gallegos confirmed the outing and the historical context.
