The Oakland A’s took two of three games from the Los Angeles Angels last weekend in their series in Anaheim, and now they’ll get four more chances against the Halos as they open a new series together at the Coliseum on Thursday.
The A’s send Chris Bassitt to the mound, which worked out quite well last Saturday against the Angels. The right-hander pitched into the 8th inning and limited them to two runs, en route to a 6-2 victory. It was the seventh time in his last eight starts that he kept the opponent to exactly two runs, leading to A’s wins all but once.
