The A’s are back at it for some Saturday afternoon baseball, taking on the Cleveland Guardians in the second game of the 3 game set.
After suffering a close loss last night, Oakland turns to Cole Irvin to right the ship. The lone left-hander in the rotation, Irvin is coming off his best start so far, five 1-hit innings against the Rangers. He’ll hope to keep rolling and get Oakland back above the .500 mark.
Infielder Kevin Smith is making his first start since returning from the IL yesterday, getting the nod at third base and pushing Sheldon Neuse to the DH slot.
