The A’s started their 3-game series with the Los Angeles Dodgers on the right note last night, beating the NL West-leading squad in a close 6-5 win that gave us a bit of stress at the end. A win is a win and they’ll be looking for their second against these Dodgers and secure the series win.
Rookie righty Mitch Spence is set to make his 14th start of the season. The Rule 5 pick has had an overall solid season but not without its down parts. He’s coming off a couple solid outings though and will look to keep that going against a potent Dodgers lineup that’s missing some key pieces but is still dangerous.
