After a 1-5 homestand, the Oakland Athletics will head back out on the road Friday where they will begin a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals. Kyle Muller will get the start for Oakland while the Royals will go with right-hander Brad Keller.
This series will be a matchup of two struggling teams. The A’s have lost three straight and eight of 10 overall. Their 6-26 mark is the worst record in the Majors. The Royals have lost seven of 10 and are just two games better than Oakland at 8-24 overall. Kansas City is just 2-14 at Kauffman Stadium so far this season.
