Joel Kuhnel took a loss after giving up a run in a tie game in the ninth against the Mariners on Wednesday.

Kuhnel got a double-play ball from J.P. Crawford after a leadoff single, but he just gave up three more singles afterwards, with Josh Naylor’s ending the game. The run is the second he’s allowed in 7 2/3 innings since the A’s called him up. He remains 4-for-4 in his save chances, and he’ll probably be the clear favorite for saves in Sacramento until he blows one.
