Joel Pineiro deserved a win Sunday but didn't get one, picking up a no-decision after tossing 6 1/3 shutout innings on just three hits in a loss to the Athletics. Pineiro had the A's hitting wormburners all day with his sinker, but then the Halos' bullpen promptly imploded, giving up six runs over the final two innings. The loss essentially kills the Angels' playoff hopes, as they'll now have to sweep Texas, have Boston lose three of four and Tampa lose two of three just to get into a one-game playoff. Pineiro's disappointing season concludes with a 5.13 ERA and 1.51 WHIP. He'll be a free agent over the offseason.
