Happy Opening Day, Athletics Nation!
The A’s begin the regular season tonight, kicking off the year against superstar Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Angels, right here at home at the Coliseum. There are going to be some fresh new faces that A’s fans are going to be getting their first look at tonight.
For instance, the starting pitcher. Lefty Kyle Muller is getting the ball for his first career start with the A’s, and the hope and expectations for him are high. Considered the main piece of the Sean Murphy trade, Muller made an impression on the team in camp, so much so that he’s the only rookie starting pitcher slated for an Opening Day gig this year.
