The Athletics have the second game of their interleague matchup against Pittsburgh today following last night’s strong win led by Josh Phegley and Brett Anderson. The Pheggasarus hit 4-for-5 with 8 RBI, and Anderson pitched 6 1-run innings, allowing only 4 hits and 2 walks.
Chris Bassitt gets his third start of 2019 for the A’s, currently sitting 1-0 on the season, with an 0.75 ERA and 4 strike outs for every walk issued. Look for Bassitt to work his breaking pitches to get Pirates out, in 2 strike counts Bassitt is just as likely to unleash his curveball as he is to throw his 95mph fastball.
