The Oakland A’s have a chance to secure at minimum a series split this afternoon with a win against division rival Texas Rangers.
Last night’s exciting walk-off was fun and snapped a five-game losing streak but Oakland could use a little less stress today. After using seven pitchers yesterday the A’s decided to switch it up a tad and bring up James Kaprielian to start today’s game, hoping a couple starts in Las Vegas helped him fix the issues that plagued him early in the season. In two starts down there he only allowed one run, so he’s at least on a good track coming into today’s start.
