Just like that, we’re nearly done with the first series of the 2020 season, which accounts for 7% of the entire schedule. The Oakland A’s have won two of the first three games against the Los Angeles Angels (click here for weekend roundup), and they’ll look for the series victory on Monday at the Coliseum.
The A’s lineup came to life on Sunday against Angels starter Shohei Ohtani, dropping five runs in the first inning — with some help from a bout of wildness by Ohtani. However, Oakland’s starting rotation hasn’t been much to brag about yet either, with Mike Fiers getting knocked out in the 5th with four runs on his record just like Sean Manaea had done the day before.
