What is the story about?

The beauty of baseball is that there’s always another game tomorrow. Lose in a blowout or a heartbreaking walk-off? You can flush it away with another game tomorrow. But the opposite is also true. Win in historic fashion? Well, there’s another game tomorrow. And so after winning 19-1 last night on the back of Michael Arroyo’s first hit and first home run, Weston Wilson’s first five-hit game, and about a thousand other good things, the Mariners have to play again today. How to follow it up in a way that doesn’t

feel disappointing will be the challenge.

Lineups

Uh, yeah, Michael Arroyo and Weston Wilson get starts again today. Duh.

Bryce Miller takes the mound in Sacramento for the second time this year. Back in May, he gave up two runs over five innings. Kate profiled Miller earlier today, including some great quotes from the sneaky smart Texan.

The lineups from this iteration of the A’s will never look normal to me, even if it has Butler, Gelof, and Muncy as mainstays.
