With the trade deadline behind them, the focus returns to the field for the Oakland Athletics who will continue a three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. The A’s hit three solo homers in the series opener Tuesday, but fell 7-3. Hogan Harris is the A’s scheduled starter for Wednesday. Los Angeles will go with right-hander Tony Gonsolin.
As has been the case for a while now, Mark Kotsay is subject to go with an opener at any time. Harris is listed to start, but followed Freddy Tarnok in his last appearance where he allowed two hits and two runs over 3 1/3 innings.
