Saupold retired just one of the six batters he faced in the sixth inning of Saturday's loss to Oakland, allowing three singles and a pair of doubles.
Saupold hadn't allowed a run in four-plus innings of work on the season, but the wheels came off quick Saturday. His line was more than ugly -- try five hits, five runs, no walks or strikeouts in 0.1 IP. He entered the game with it knotted at threes and left down 8-3.
