OAKLAND, Calif. -- Boston Red Sox left-hander Drew Pomeranz will face the Oakland Athletics for the first time in his career on Saturday afternoon, but he should feel right at home pitching at Oakland Coliseum.
Pomeranz went 7-2 with a 3.13 ERA in 35 games, including nine starts, at the Coliseum for the A's in 2014 and 2015. His .778 winning percentage at the Coliseum is his highest at any major league stadium in which he has more than one decision.
"I've bounced around a little bit, but I liked pitching here when I was here," Pomeranz said before Oakland's 3-2, 10-inning victory over Boston on Friday night.
