The Oakland A’s have a winning record in July so far, at 11-10. More recently they’ve won four out of six on this current homestand. They’ve also won three of their last four meetings with the Houston Astros. The A’s will get the chance to continue building on all of those runs of success tonight at the Coliseum.
Oakland has Frankie Montas on the mound. The right-hander missed most of July to shoulder inflammation, but he returned to action last week, throwing three scoreless innings against the Tigers to ease himself back into a normal workload.
