The Oakland Athletics kick off the second half of the season with a three-game series at the Oakland Coliseum with the Minnesota Twins. While the 25-67 A’s remain in the cellar of the American League West, the Twins at 45-46 are just one game back of Cleveland in the American League Central Division. Both teams come back from the All-Star break hoping for a strong stretch run.
The A’s have called up their number one prospect Tyler Soderstrom and their number three prospect Zack Gelof to start tonight’s game against Minnesota, each making their major league debut in front of the hometown fans.
