OAKLAND — After a successful road trip, the A's return home Friday night to open a three-game series with the last-place Seattle Mariners.
Oakland has won a season-high six straight games to even its record at 25-25. Seattle, meanwhile, has lost three in a row and six of its last seven.
Prior to Friday's game, the A's officially placed slugger Khris Davis on the 10-day IL with a left hip/oblique contusion. Mark Canha will fill in as Oakland's designated hitter and bat sixth in the lineup. Canha has hit five home runs in his last eight games since returning from a sprained wrist.
