Opening Day is here! The Oakland A’s begin their 2022 season in an hour or so, and they’ve settled on a starting lineup for their first game. These nine batters will go against right-hander Aaron Nola of the Phillies, at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia:
- 2B Tony Kemp (L)
- DH Billy McKinney (L)
- C Sean Murphy (R)
- LF Chad Pinder (R)
- 1B Seth Brown (L)
- SS Elvis Andrus (R)
- 3B Kevin Smith (R)
- RF Stephen Piscotty (R)
- CF Cristian Pache (R)
- RHP Frankie Montas
Surely there will be many different lineups this season, as the rebuilding A’s try out a variety of ideas to see what works.
