Osvaldo Bido yielded one run over five innings on Thursday in a win over the Rays.
Bido’s 18-inning scoreless streak was snapped in the fourth inning when José Caballero scalded a run-scoring double to left field with two outs in the frame. He finished with six strikeouts and only issued three walks. The unheralded 28-year-old righty has been an unexpected bright spot for the rebuilding Athletics, compiling a sparkling 3.24 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 51/24 K/BB ratio across 50 innings (13 appearances, seven starts). At this point, we’re inclined to trust him as a viable streaming option when he faces the Reds on Wednesday in his next outing.
