A’s begin fresh series against surprising Pirates

New week, new chance for positive results. Oakland goes from Miami to Pittsburgh to take on the Pirates hoping to snap a 4-game losing streak and get back to winning!

Left-hander JP Sears is getting the nod today in a day game. The A’s have, in a considerate word, struggled in day games this year as they’ve gone a nasty 1-26 in those contests. Yet Sears is rolling right now, having given up 2 runs or less in each of his last four outings while getting through at least five. He easily deserves a win at this point but he’s still on the lookout for that right now.
