Oakland hopes to get a boost from rookie left-hander Jared Koenig, who will make his major league debut when the A's complete their two-game road series against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night.
The Braves won the series opener 3-2 on Tuesday for their sixth straight victory. The A's have lost seven straight.
Against the A's, Atlanta has won eight in a row and is 12-4 all-time.
Koenig, 28, was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas, where he was 4-2 with a 2.21 ERA in nine games (eight starts). In 53 innings, he is second in the Pacific Coast League with 61 strikeouts.
