Good morning A’s fans!
The Athletics are over the .500 mark for the first time since the third game of the season after last night’s close 2-1 victory over the Rangers. Now the hard part of maintaining that winning record begins.
Today the team will be giving left-hander Jacob Lopez his first starting assignment of the season. He’s taking over for JT Ginn, who finds himself on the IL dealing with a bout of elbow pain. It’s an ominous sounding injury especially for a guy that has already endured Tommy John surgery once in career.
