Mike Fiers is finally getting a postseason start. The right-hander will take the mound for the Oakland A’s in the deciding Game 3 of the 2020 Wild Card Series against the Chicago White Sox, reports insider Martin Gallegos.
Meanwhile, the White Sox will turn to right-hander Dane Dunning. The 25-year-old is a recent Top 100 prospect who debuted this season and made seven starts, with above-average results.
Despite owning a World Series ring, Fiers has never started a postseason game. He pitched an inning of relief for the Houston Astros in the 2015 ALDS, but didn’t participate in their 2017 championship run.
