Red-Hot Adkins Cools Off Oakland Friday, July 17th , 2026 The Detroit Tigers shut out the Oakland Athletics, 5-0, behind the strong pitching of Cam Adkins. Adkins surrendered only 4 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 8. Following the last out, Adkins appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Oakland manager Bob Melvin, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Adkins's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Athletics skipper would not comment on the exchange but, at the Tigers press conference, Adkins confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Adkins said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Detroit manager Robert Carson added. To date Adkins is 11-3 in 21 starts with a 3.29 ERA and has 123 strikeouts in 128.2 innings. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
