OAKLAND, Calif. -- Clay Buchholz insists he has his team more on his mind than his personal comeback when he gets a second start for the Arizona Diamondbacks on the middle day of a three-game interleague series against the Oakland Athletics on Saturday afternoon.
Losers of seven straight and 13 of 14 before making the trip to Oakland, the Diamondbacks took a step in the right direction with a 7-1 thumping of the A's in Friday's series opener.
The meeting of National League West and American League West teams was the first since 2015, and the first between the clubs in Oakland since 2011.
