The Athletics are back in Sacramento to kick off a home stand. They’ll start things off with a three-game series against the division-rival Seattle Mariners, who are fighting for a spot in the playoffs.
The A’s will toss out left-hander JP Sears to get the series started. The third-year starter is still looking to rediscover his early-season form but encouragingly he’s coming off a quality outing last time out when he allowed just three hits in five innings of work. The A’s would gladly take that again tonight.
The starting lineup for the Green & Gold tonight:
Still no Jacob Wilson who is still dealing with a sore hand, but the team will get first baseman Nick Kurtz back tonight, providing the offense with a massive boost to start the series.
