WASHINGTON — Jesus Luzardo pitched Sunday where everyone expected him to pitch as a big-leaguer. Until the A’s came calling.

Obviously, I came here a lot as a kid. I was very excited and having fun.” While Canha did take some flak for his theatrics, the A’s outfielder said he’s also received a lot of support. “There was lot of noise on Twitter, which is to be expected,” Continue to Article
