Still looking for win #50. The A’s have another shot at it today after dropping the series opener to the Houston Astros last night.
Jacob Lopez is getting the ball to start today’s game. He’s done well in his second chance in the starting rotation so far. In six post-All Star Break starts he’s sporting a 2.48 ERA with a much stronger K?BB ratio. He went six full innings last time out, allowing just two runs on five hits against the Rangers.
Here’s the A’s lineup today:
As for Houston, they have right-hander Hunter Brown on the bump for them this evening. He’s taken a step back from his dominant performance last year but he’s still a tough pitcher to go up against. The A’s need to take advantage of every opportunity they have against him tonight.
And the Houston starting nine:
Can the A’s snap this losing streak? It’s about time. Let’s go A’s!
