After dropping the last two games to the Mariners, Oakland begins their final series of the homestand on Friday evening, taking on the Detroit Tigers for the first of three in what will be their final time at the Coliseum.
Righty Mitch Spence is all set to take the ball for what will be his 20th start of the season. He’s probably only got a few more starts left in him but his rookie season has already been a success. A Rule 5 pick that needed to impress enough to stick on the roster all year, Spence started in the bullpen but has been in the starting rotation mid-May.
