Back on the road again! The Oakland A’s won three out of five games on their recent short homestand, including a two-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels, and now they head north to visit another AL West division rival in the Seattle Mariners.
The A’s lead off the series with Sean Manaea on the mound. He’s allowed at least three runs in each of his last three starts (Rangers, Astros, Indians), but also struck out 19 batters to just one walk during that span. He already faced the Mariners once this year in early-June, and he dominated them in a shutout, working nine sensational innings of four-hit ball.
