If you take away the two runners Street inherited, he really didn't do all that bad. Yeah he gave up some hits, but he had to be a bit more precise, keeping the ball more around the plate than usual. Coming in with RISP and no outs, the A's took advantage of his pitches they could handle.
Look at the box score, only 1 earned run. No other pitcher in our bullpen would I have rather had out there given the situation once the A's started getting some runs back.
Big help from his defense too, but hey its a team sport and that's what they're there for. Not like he gave up a 3 run bomb.
