Halfway through a four-game series at T-Mobile Park, the Oakland A’s have split the first two against the Seattle Mariners. They meet again Saturday afternoon.
The A’s have All-Star candidate Paul Blackburn on the mound, where he’ll face the Mariners for the third time this year. His first start against them in May (on the road) was brilliant, with 5u2153 scoreless innings and only one hit, but his next try in June (at home) was a disaster to the tune of seven runs in only four frames. Which version will we see today?
As for Oakland’s lineup, there are a couple changes.
