The Athletics have wrapped up their series with the Rangers but aren’t done with Texas quite yet after their sweep. They’ll instead take the short trip over to Houston to begin a four-game series with the first-place Astros, their second-to-last series of the season against the division rival. Embrace the spoiler role, everyone.
The starting pitcher for the A’s tonight will be the right-handed Luis Severino. The veteran starter will be making his 22nd start of the season and second of the half. The 31-year-old put together a quality outing his last time out, tossing five full frames and allowing just two runs on three hits against the Guardians.
