Rotoworld on Hahn’s last performance: Jesse Hahn was handed a no-decision after spinning seven innings of one-run ball against the Rangers on Friday. Hahn deserved better, but Santiago Casilla imploded in the ninth and took the loss. At the very least, it was an encouraging bounceback performance after Hahn failed to make it out of the fourth inning in his last start. Hahn gave up four hits and walked three while striking out three. The Athletics optioned Jharel Cotton to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, so Hahn will keep his rotation spot when Sean Manaea (shoulder) comes off the disabled list next week.
Bergman pitched decently in a spot start against the Blue Jays on Friday, surrendering three runs on seven hits over five innings of work. Bergman walked one and struck out one. The M’s are dealing with a lengthy list of injuries in their starting rotation and are looking for any healthy bodies who can give them quality innings at this point. While Bergman wasn’t great, he did enough to keep his team in the game and should get another opportunity to start on Wednesday against the Athletics. (Rotoworld)
