Jerry McDonald has been with the Bay Area News Group for more than 30 years, with a heavy concentration of NFL football since the Raiders returned to Oakland in 1995. His all-time favorite athlete is a right-handed pitcher at Division III Linfield College in Oregon.
Pitcher Lucas Erceg greets catcher Kyle McCann Sunday after his first major league save against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.Mason Miller, the Athletics’ right-hander who has become a phenomenon with his ability to throw anywhere from 101 to 104 miles per hour with the greatest of ease, was taking a second day off Sunday after pitching back-to-back for the first time this season on Thursday and Friday.
“It felt good to get the first one out of the way,” Erceg said. “Hopefully it’s not my last opportunity for that. I pride myself in being ready whenever the phone call comes. Yesterday it just happened to be the ninth inning. Real cool experience. I have the baseball and am getting it nice and boxed up for our home.”
The Athletics went into Monday’s game with the bullpen not allowing a run in its last four games covering 4 1/3 innings and has a 1.85 earned run average in six of the last seven. The bullpen’s 2.73 ERA is tied for sixth lowest in the majors and has three wins, five saves and no losses over the last 11 games.
Miller’s shadow has eclipsed Erceg in a national sense, although he’s known locally after playing at Campbell’s Westmont High, Cal and Menlo College before being drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers as a third baseman.
