It’s a new day. Last weekend was last weekend, and it doesn’t matter what happened then. The Oakland A’s have a game tonight against the Seattle Mariners. Focus on winning that.
The A’s have Paul Blackburn on the mound. The right-hander made a spot start last Wednesday against the White Sox, working into the 6th inning and limiting a tough lineup to three runs. That was his best MLB performance since 2018, and another solid effort against the Mariners this evening would be a big boost for the pitching staff after a tough couple weeks.
Blackburn was originally acquired by the A’s in a trade from the Mariners, after the 2016 season.
