The Oakland Athletics will return to the Coliseum Friday where they will begin a six-game home stand against the New York Mets and the Chicago Cubs. The A’s just completed a 1-6 road trip and are just 3-10 for the season.
Through 13 games, Oakland’s pitching staff is sporting a 7.65 ERA which ranks dead last in the majors. Most of that comes from a rotation that has a 9.93 ERA and has already given up 16 home runs. Another telling number is that A’s starters have logged just 58 innings over those 13 games.
