Losing pitcher Joe Coleman (1-4) struggles with his control so far this season, having given up 24 free passes in 40 innings. "I know I've been inconsistent in my starts so far. I've been working on spotting my slider in my off days, and once I get that pitch under control, the wins will come my way," he said.
The A's easily outhit the Browns 13 to 7, however stranded base runners continues to be a bane for the Philadelphia offense, as they beached 13.
