Athletics' Tyler Ferguson: Nabs third win Monday
Tyler Ferguson (3-2) got the win against the Mariners on Monday, striking out the side in a perfect ninth inning.Ferguson retired Victor Robles, J.P. Crawford and Julio Rodriguez on swinging strikeouts and needed just 12 pitches to do so. Ferguson then was rewarded for his pristine work when the Oakland Athletics walked it off in the bottom of the ninth with Shea Langeliers' solo home run, which afforded Ferguson his second win in the last three appearances. Ferguson clearly has the stuff to work in high-leverage, late-inning spots whenever closer Mason Miller is unavailable, which was the case Monday after Miller threw 34 pitches in a rough 1.2-inning outing Sunday.

Athletics' Tyler Ferguson: Takes loss Saturday
Tyler Ferguson (2-2) took the loss against the Rangers on Saturday, allowing an earned run on two hits, a walk and a hit-by-pitch over 1.1 innings. He struck out three.It was the ultimate tale of two innings for Ferguson, who opened his appearance by striking out Corey Seager, Josh Smith and Adolis Garcia swinging on 12 pitches in the eighth inning to preserve a 2-2 tie. However, he never came close to replicating the feat in the ninth, putting three of the first four hitters he faced on before surrendering a game-winning single to Leody Taveras. It was the second time in three outings that Ferguson gave up a run following a 10-appearance scoreless streak that had encompassed the majority of August. Despite Saturday's hiccup, Ferguson should remain the top setup option to closer Mason Miller over the season's final month unless he goes on an extended stretch of poor performances.

It marked the right-hander's first save of the campaign and he's now produced six straight scoreless appearances. Ferguson has also posted two or more strikeouts in four of those six outings. Lucas Erceg worked the eighth inning Thursday, facing the Angels' 2-3-4 hitters, and Ferguson could be in the mix for regular save opportunities with Mason Miller on the shelf due to a fractured pinky on his non-throwing hand.

Athletics' Tyler Ferguson: Tough-luck loser Thursday
Tyler Ferguson (0-1) was charged with the loss against the Rays in extra innings Thursday, allowing an unearned run across 1.1 hitless innings. He struck out one.Ferguson entered the game in the 11th with the score knotted at 5-5 and retired the side in order before returning for the 12th and inducing an inning-opening groundout that moved phantom runner Jose Caballero to third base. T.J. McFarland subsequently allowed Caballero to cross the plate on Richie Palacios' walk-off single, saddling Ferguson with the loss. The right-hander did at least bounce back from a rocky outing Wednesday, one that had seen him allow a run on three hits over two-thirds of an inning. Ferguson is likely to continue seeing work primarily in lower-leverage scenarios, and he holds a 4.50 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over his nine appearances this season.
