Slade Cecconi allowed five runs while striking out three batters over 5 1/3 innings in a win against the Athletics on Saturday.

Cecconi served up a two-run homer to Shea Langeliers in the first inning. Three base hits would bring another run in to score in the fourth. Langeliers would get to Cecconi again with a solo blast in the fifth. A single, a double, and a sacrifice fly made it five runs against Cecconi before he was relieved with one out in the sixth at 69 pitches. He struck out three, picking up his first win with 14 runs of support. The 26-year-old right-hander will take a 6.56 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, and a 28/13 K/BB ratio across 35 2/3 innings into a start against the Royals in Kansas City on Thursday.
