A’s Skipper Mark Kotsay is sending Righty Paul Blackburn, who is 3-1 with a 3.00 ERA in his seven 2024 starts to the mound tonight. He’ll face Oakland native Bryan Woo for Seattle. Woo is making his first start of the season after starting 2024 on the Injured List (IL) with right elbow inflammation.
