There’s a lot of news around the Oakland A’s today, but there’s also a task at hand: A series at Fenway Park, against the Boston Red Sox.
Fresh from a day off after playing 17 straight, the A’s open their latest road trip with a few games on the East Coast. Tuesday’s opener features Chris Bassitt on the mound for the green-and-gold, working on a streak of four straight quality starts. Last time out, against the Blue Jays, he worked seven innings with just two runs allowed, striking out seven batters along the way.
