Hahn returns from DL to pitch Athletics past Blue Jays 4-1
OAKLAND, Calif. — Jesse Hahn was admittedly a little too excited in the first inning after coming off the disabled list earlier in the day, and it showed when he gave up back-to-back singles with one out.
Once he calmed down and got Toronto cleanup hitter Kendrys Morales to ground into a double play, the Oakland right-hander was as effective as he’s been all season.
Hahn allowed an unearned run over six innings and the Athletics beat the Blue Jays 4-1 on Tuesday night.
“That first inning, my tempo and my rhythm was a little quick just because I was excited to be back out there,” Hahn said. “So there’s an adjustment you have to make to take a deep breath and get right back into your normal rhythm.”
