The A’s head to Boston to take on the Red Sox for three games and finish off this tough three-city road trip, and it can’t end soon enough.
In today’s lineup is infielder Jonah Bride, who was recently recalled from Triple-A after smashing the ball in Vegas, albeit in a short sample of 14 games. But he’s been crushing the ball all year starting at Double-A and is prepared to make his MLB debut tonight, batting ninth. He has experience playing all over the diamond, even catcher, but for now it looks like he’ll be getting an extended look at third base with both Sheldon Neuse and Kevin Smith recently sent down in Triple-A.
