The Oakland Athletics took on the Mariners tonight in game two of the four-game set at T-Mobile Park in Seattle.
The A’s sent rookie right-hander Luis Medina to the mound against M’s lefty Marco Gonzales. Medina, 24, is 0-2 in his three starts in 2023 with a 6.88 ERA. Gonzales, a first-round draft selection out of basketball powerhouse Gonzaga University, came into the game 3-1 with a 6.10 ERA in his 8 starts this season.
Esteury Ruiz did not waste any time extending his eight-game hitting streak, singling in his first at-bat against Gonzales. He then stole his league-leading 25th base and scored the first run of the night on a Ramon Laureano single to right field.
