OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Oakland Athletics will go for the second consecutive series win on their current homestand, but it appears they will have to deal with Mike Trout for the first time Wednesday in the series finale.
With Angels center fielder Trout nursing a tight left hamstring, Oakland and Los Angeles split the first two meetings of the three-game series.
Los Angeles rebounded from a walk-off, 3-2 loss to Oakland in 11 innings on Monday night with a three-home run barrage early in a 7-3 win Tuesday.
Trout took batting practice before the Tuesday game and gave the hamstring a thumbs-up.
