ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The A’s will turn to left-hander Brett Anderson for Wednesday afternoon’s series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field to finish an arduous 10-game road trip.
Anderson (6-4, 3.98 ERA) is just the kind of pitcher you want for getaway day. This season, he has been consistent, going at least 5 1/3 innings in 11 of his 13 starts.
“With my repertoire, when I’m throwing right, it usually leads to quick outs, pitching to contact, going deeper in games,’’ Anderson said. “Keep the ball in the ballpark. Give us a chance to win.
