Who can save the Oakland A's against left-handed pitching?

The Oakland A's have a problem. No, I don't mean the bullpen, but yeah, that's worrisome too. I'm also not talking about the defense, but now that you mention it that could be better. Okay, the Oakland A's have several problems. And one of them is that they can't hit left-handed pitching. This is a particularly imminent issue because in a few hours they are facing the Pacific northwest's hottest southpaw, Seattle's Mike Montgomery, who has thrown shutouts in each of his last two starts. This should go swimmingly, in the sense of fish navigating within a barrel while a Mariner hunts them.
