Lester Delivers in 2014 ALDS
Unlike in the "real" 2014 MLB postseason, the A's didn't have a one-game Wild Card playoff against the Royals to open (and end) their postseason.
The Oakland A's 2014 playoff run began with a best-of-five ALDS with the Seattle Mariners, who had to use ace Felix Hernandez to get past David Price and Tampa Bay in the AL Wild Card. Jon Lester delivered an 8 inning, 3-hit, 12 strikeout gem in a 2-0 Game 1 victory, followed by a complete game, 5-hit, 14 strikeout masterpiece in a winner-take-all Game 5.
