After finishing off their third straight series victory over an American League West rival on Wednesday, the Athletics move on to the National League West’s Arizona Diamondbacks tonight at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento.
Yesterday’s trade deadline deals changed both of these teams, but surprisingly the D-backs gave up more than the A’s did this season. Arizona traded off Randal Grichuk, Jordan Montgomery, Josh Naylor. Eugenio Suárez, Shelby Miller and Merrill Kelly (who was originally scheduled to start tonight). The A’s shipped Mason Miller and JP Sears to San Diego and Miguel Andujar to Cincinnati.
