Records first win Tuesday

Otanez (1-0) recorded the win over the Reds on Tuesday, firing two-thirds scoreless innings and recording a strikeout.
ANALYSIS
Otanez inherited a two-on, one-out scenario from starter Mitch Spence in the sixth inning, but he prevented any damage by inducing a foul pop and strikeout from the two batters he faced. The rookie right-hander then became the pitcher of record when Oakland mounted a four-run rally in the seventh and managed to hold on for the victory. Otanez's first big-league win came on the heels of a rough outing against the Brewers on Sunday, when he allowed three runs over 1.1 innings, and he now has scoreless appearances in five of his last seven trips to the mound.
