OAKLAND,
Calif-5/04/09. - The Oakland A's today recalled
right-handed pitcher Sean Gallagher and
left-handed pitcher Jerry Blevins from Sacramento,
and optioned left-handed pitcher Gio Gonzalez and
infielder/outfielder Eric Patterson to their
Triple-A affiliate.
Gallagher, acquired by the A's from the Chicago
Cubs in the Rich Harden trade last July, had
tossed 5.0 hitless innings over two starts for
Sacramento since being sent down by Oakland April
23. A member of the A's 2009 Opening Day
roster, he had posted a 1-0 record and 8.10 ERA in
three relief appearances during the first three
weeks of the season. Last year, Gallagher scrolled
a combined 5-7 mark and 5.15 ERA in 23 games, 21
starts, for the A's and Cubs.
Blevins, who also broke camp on the A's Opening
Day roster, was 0-2 with a 3.72 ERA in six relief
outings for the River Cats. He allowed four
runs in only 0.2 innings for a 54.00 ERA in two
games out of the bullpen for Oakland before being
shipped to Sacramento April 18. Blevins was
a key member of last year's bullpen, as he
compiled a 1-3 mark and 3.11 ERA in 36 relief
appearances for the Athletics.
Gonzalez, who had only been recalled from Triple-A
Sacramento Saturday, pitched five innings in
relief for the A's yesterday in Seattle. He
entered the game in the 10th inning and allowed
three runs, five hits and four walks, struck out
one batter and threw 108 pitches, receiving a
no-decision in a 15-inning game eventually won by
the Mariners, 8-7. His 108 pitches were the most
by a major league reliever since Esteban Loaiza
tossed 109 pitches in 4.2 innings for the New York
Yankees Sept. 26, 2004 against Boston.
Patterson, who entered the 2009 season with a .196
average in 50 career games with the Cubs (2007-08)
and A's, was batting .125 (1 for 8) for Oakland
since being recalled from Sacramento last
Wednesday. Patterson was also part of the
Harden trade with the Cubs last July. He had
a nine-game hitting streak (12 for 32, .375) with
Sacramento at the time of his promotion last week
and was tied for third in the Pacific Coast League
in steals (nine).
