Oakland Athletics’ top prospect Jesus Luzardo is set to make his first career start on Tuesday.

The Oakland Athletics are reeling in the midst of a three-game losing streak. However, they’re set to receive a boost in the form of top prospect Jesus Luzardo who will be making his first career start this Tuesday.

As announced on Friday by manager Bob Melvin, Luzardo will take the mound against the Texas Rangers at the Oakland Coliseum this Tuesday as the A’s look to spark a pitching staff that’s struggled over the past few days.
