Joey Estes will make his second career start Wednesday when the Oakland Athletics continue a three-game series against the Minnesota Twins. The A’s fell behind early and never recovered in Tuesday’s series opener. Right-hander Pablo Lopez will get the start for Minnesota.
The A’s acquired Estes from Atlanta in the Matt Olson trade. He began the season at Double A where he posted solid numbers. He allowed 19 runs in 32 2/3 innings at Triple A after a late season promotion. Estes made his major league debut last week against the Seattle Mariners and allowed five earned runs in 4 2/3 innings.
