Jack Perkins worked the final two innings while allowing a run and picking up a save Wednesday versus the Mariners.
Mason Miller was unavailable for reasons that haven’t been divulged but are pretty obvious when you consider what day it is. That meant Perkins got the final two innings, and even while allowing a homer to Randy Arozarena, he was able to procure his third save of the season. There’s no guarantee that Miller is going to get traded, but if he does, Perkins will likely be the closer for the A’s for the final two months. Keep an eye on it.
