Coming off of an emotional night, the Oakland Athletics will try to extend their winning streak to a season-best eight games when they continue a four-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays. The A’s suffered their 50th loss of the season on June 5 in Pittsburgh and haven’t lost since. They will try to secure a third-straight series win Wednesday with Luis Medina matching up against Tyler Glasnow.
Medina is listed as Wednesday’s starter, although it wouldn’t be surprising to see Oakland go with an opener as they did Tuesday with Shintaro Fujinami. Whether he pitches in the first inning or not, Medina is expected to see the bulk of the action and is looking to build on a good performance last time out where he allowed three hits and two runs over five innings against the Brewers.
