Rise and shine! The Athletics are set for a Saturday morning matchup with the Tigers in game 2 of the series.

Righty Paul Blackburn is set to take the ball for his second start of 2024. The former All-Star was lights out in his first outing of the year, shutting down the Guardians over seven strong frames. He’ll be hoping to keep that going against the Tigers, who have gotten off to a fast start.

Here is the lineup that’ll be backing him up:
