  • Athletics' JP Sears: Lit up early in loss

    Sears (11-12) took the loss against the Yankees on Saturday, allowing six runs on nine hits and two walks over five innings while striking out six.

    Sears got beat up out of the gate, allowing three consecutive batters to reach in the opening frame, which led to two runs coming across for the Yankees. He then started off the second by surrendering a leadoff homer to Anthony Volpe and was later tagged for a three-run shot in the third. It marked the second straight outing in which Sears has given up multiple home runs, and he's now allowed four or more runs in three of his last four starts. On a positive note, he did manage to get through five innings Saturday for the fifth straight outing.

  • Athletics' JP Sears: Coughs up four runs

    Sears (11-11) yielded four runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings Sunday, striking out four and taking a loss against the White Sox.

    Most of the damage against Sears came in the first inning; he gave up an RBI single to Andrew Vaughn before Gavin Sheets belted a two-run shot. Bryan Ramos then knocked a solo homer in the sixth. Sears has given up at least four runs in three of his last five outings, resulting in a 4.71 ERA over 28.2 innings. His season ERA now sits at 4.24 with a 127:44 K:BB through 30 starts. Sears is in line for a home matchup with the Yankees this weekend.

  • Athletics' JP Sears: Pitches well in no-decision

    Sears allowed four hits and two walks while striking out one over six scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Astros on Tuesday.

    Sears was given the start on short notice after Osvaldo Bido (wrist) landed on the injured list earlier in the day. It worked out well, as Sears turned in his first scoreless outing since July 30, though the Athletics' bullpen couldn't maintain the 2-0 lead Sears exited the game with after six frames. The southpaw lowered his ERA to 4.18 with a 1.19 WHIP and 123:43 K:BB through 163.2 innings over 29 starts this season. He's lined up to make his next start on the road versus the White Sox in what would be a highly favorable matchup.

  • Athletics' JP Sears: Allows five runs in loss

    Sears (11-10) took the loss against the Mariners on Wednesday, allowing five runs on five hits and one walk over five innings while striking out five.

    Sears went 1-2-3 through the first inning before hitting Randy Arozarena with a pitch to open the second. The lefty would eventually go on to surrender two runs in the frame following a double from Mitch Garver, and was tagged for another three runs in the fourth after allowing four-consecutive hits with two outs. Despite his struggles, Sears was still able to get through six innings for the seventh time in his last eight starts, though he's now given up five earned runs in two of his last three outings. Sears also carries a strong 30:8 K:BB since the start of August and will look to get back in the winning column when the A's travel to Houston to take on the Astros next week.

  • Athletics' JP Sears: Cruises to 11th win

    Sears (11-9) earned the win in Friday's 9-2 victory over Texas, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out four.

    The Oakland southpaw picked up his fifth win of the second half with this 97-pitch performance while earning his 11th quality start of the season. The only blemish on Sears' evening was a 406-foot solo homer allowed to Nathaniel Lowe in the second inning. The 28-year-old has been a solid contributor since the All-Star break, pitching to a 3.53 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 41:8 K:BB across 51 innings. Sears is scheduled to make his next start at home against the Mariners.

  • Athletics' JP Sears: Crumbles against Brew Crew

    Sears (10-9) took the loss Friday, surrendering seven runs (five earned) on nine hits and a walk over 3.2 innings in an 11-3 loss to the Brewers. He struck out three.

    The southpaw saw his four-game quality start streak end with a resounding thud, as Rhys Hoskins and Joey Ortiz took him deep in a five-run second inning for Milwaukee. Sears has given up three runs or fewer in eight of his last 11 starts, but he's been hammered for at least seven runs in each of the other three -- volatility that has left him with a 4.50 ERA in 62 innings over that stretch despite a 1.18 WHIP and 58:10 K:BB. Sears will try to shake it off in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next week in Cincinnati.

  • Athletics' JP Sears: Dominates in no-decision

    Sears did not factor into the decision in Sunday's loss to the Giants, allowing one run on seven hits while striking out nine over 7.2 innings.

    Sears blanked the Giants through six frames before Heliot Ramos led off the seventh with a solo home run to even the game at 1-1. It was another dominant performance by Sears, who posted his fourth straight quality start and his second over the last four with nine strikeouts. Sunday's outing was the longest Sears has gone over his three-year MLB career, and since the start of July he owns a 2.65 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 48:8 K:BB in 51 innings. He'll look to keep rolling along in a projected home matchup against the Brewers.

  • Athletics' JP Sears: Wins third straight

    Sears (10-8) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Sunday, allowing three runs on three hits and three walks with four strikeouts over seven innings.

    Sears completed seven innings for the third consecutive outing and was even pushed into the eighth, but he walked two batters without recording an out in the frame. The southpaw has gone 6-1 since the calendar flipped to July, allowing three or fewer earned runs in each of the victories. On the season, he owns a 4.32 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 101:37 K:BB across 133.1 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Giants next week.

  • Athletics' JP Sears: Sends White Sox to another loss

    Sears (9-8) earned the win over the White Sox on Monday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out five batters over seven innings.

    Sears appeared determined to not be the first pitcher to lose to the White Sox since July 10, as he held Chicago to a lone run and retired the final 10 batters he faced. The left-handed hurler notched his second straight seven-inning quality start and has given up just one run on six hits over 14 innings during that span. Sears has held his opponent to two or fewer earned runs in five of his past six starts, though the one exception was an ERA-damaging outing during which he allowed eight runs (seven earned) over six frames against Houston.

  • Athletics' JP Sears: Dominant versus Giants

    Sears (8-8) secured the win over the Giants on Tuesday, allowing three hits and a walk while striking out nine over seven scoreless innings.

    Sears racked up a career-high nine strikeouts and went seven innings for just the second time this season. He's been much better over the last month after struggling over his first 16 starts of the year, during which he had a 5.04 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and only 56 strikeouts in 84 innings. The 28-year-old lefty also already has three more wins than he did all of last season despite having a nearly identical ERA (4.53). He'll look to continue his success in a great matchup against the White Sox to begin next week.

  • Athletics' JP Sears: Falls to Houston

    Sears (7-8) took the loss Wednesday against the Astros, allowing eight runs (seven earned) on nine hits over six innings. He struck out three.

    Four of the runs charged to Sears came in the seventh inning, when the first four batters reached before the A's turned to the bullpen. It's a rough final line for Sears, who had won three straight starts while pitching to a 2.42 ERA in his previous four outings. The 28-year-old southpaw now sports a 4.81 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP and 83:32 K:BB across 112.1 innings this season. Sears will look to bounce back in his next start, currently slated for early next week in San Francisco.
