The A’s got smacked last night in the first game of the series last night. They now get another chance to get a win in Philadelphia and set up a potential series-deciding contest for Thursday evening.
It’ll be left-handed Jeffrey Springs on the mound tonight. He recently got through a rough patch that included a shorted start due to a hip issue but it seems he’s been able to put that in the near view mirror. Let’s hope we get early-season Springs this evening.
Here’s the Athletics’ lineup for this
evening:
An interesting bottom third of the lineup tonight. New catcher Jonah Heinz gets his first start with the team catching Springs this evening. And we’ll get a Zack Gelof sighting at third base as well. Most of the rest of the lineup is in their usual spots.
It’s Zack Wheeler going for the Phillies tonight. He’s only just returned from his injury but has looked like his old dominant self through his first two starts. Let’s hope the A’s can handle him in his third outing of the year.
And the Philly lineup tonight for the middle game:
Gotta get the win tonight. Let’s go A’s!
