Oakland A’s Mason Miller celebrates after striking out the side in the ninth inning against the Colorado Rockies at the Coliseum in Oakland, Calif., Tuesday, May 21, 2024. OAKLAND – Oakland A’s manager Mark Kotsay said he’s run out of adjectives to illustrate how good his closer, Mason Miller, has been in 2024.
Tuesday’s crowd was announced at 4,005, the eighth smallest in 24 home games this season. But the noise and the energy were still prevalent as fans watched Miller extend his scoreless streak to 19 1/3 innings. Tuesday’s appearance was only Miller’s fifth this month. Sunday, having gone five days without getting in a game, Miller asked Kotsay if he could pitch against the Royals as the A’s were on the verge of closing out a dismal 1-9 road trip.
“It’s just important for me to get into games and throw,” Miller said. “Obviously with the role, being available for the next day, if the opportunity is not there on that day, is important. But having the off day and having thrown two times in two weeks, I just felt like it was important. The A’s all-time record is 53.0 innings, set by Jack Coombs from Sept. 5-25, 1910. The all-time Oakland record is 39.0, held by Brad Ziegler, whose streak lasted from May 31-Aug. 14, 2008.
