The Oakland Athletics take on the National League Central’s Cincinnati Reds this afternoon at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. The A’s are two games ahead of the LA Angels, but still four behind the Rangers in third place right now. The Reds are currently 63-68 and trail the Milwaukee Brewers (who just left the Coliseum after a three-game series with the A’s) by 12.5 games.
The A’s shortstop of the future, Jacob Wilson returns to the lineup today after a stint on the Injured List (IL) with a strained left hamstring.
