JP Sears will take the mound for the Oakland Athletics Tuesday night as they look to get back in the win column when they continue a three-game series against the Texas Rangers. The A’s jumped out to a 3-0 lead in Monday’s series opener, but were unable to hold it in a 5-3 loss. Texas will send deadline acquisition Max Scherzer to the mound in Tuesday’s game.
Sears has largely been Oakland’s most consistent rotation option and he will look to continue that Tuesday night. He allowed six hits and uncharacteristic three walks, but just two runs over five innings in his last start against the Dodgers.
