Tommy Milone was excellent in his first postseason start Sunday, tossing six innings of one-run ball in a loss to the Tigers.
Milone permitted just five hits and a walk while striking out six batters, with the lone run coming home on a dribbler from Delmon Young. The bad news is that he threw 100 pitches, which led to his removal and the A’s normally reliable bullpen giving up four runs over the final three frames. Milone will only get another start this postseason if the A’s can climb out of an 0-2 hole.
