ARLINGTON, Texas - With one game - and a win at that - under his belt, the A’s plans for Jeurys Familia are becoming more clear.

Manager Bob Melvin, who finally got a chance for a more lengthy chat with the team’s new reliever Monday, indicated that Familia is likely to see duty primarily in the eighth inning, with Lou Trivino getting the seventh and All-Star closer Blake Treinen, of course, working the ninth (that was never in doubt).
