Geltz surrendered a go-ahead two-run homer to Danny Valencia in the ninth inning of Sunday's 7-6 loss to the A's. He also struck out a batter.
EDGE Analysis
Geltz continues his rollercoaster season out of the pen, seemingly alternating rough outings with solid ones the past few appearances. He fell victim to the red-hot Danny Valencia in the ninth Sunday, after Xavier Cedeno had allowed Billy Burns to reach base on a double before Geltz was summoned. Valencia then promptly launced a 434-foot blast to left center on the 28-year-old reliever's first offering, giving Oakland a lead they wouldn't reliquish. The homer was alarmingly the third given up by Geltz over his last four appearances, and the fifth overall over his 13.2 innings this season.
