Coco Crisp started the ALDS with a bang, launching a leadoff homer off Justin Verlander on Saturday, but unfortunately it would be the only offense the A's could generate in the ballgame. Crisp finished the evening 1-for-4. His blast off Verlander came on just the fourth pitch of the game, while he was behind in the count 1-2. When healthy, he's been a spark plug at the top of the A's lineup this season, though he'll need help from elsewhere in the lineup if the A's are going to rally back to knock off the Tigers.
