JP Sears will take the mound Sunday as the Oakland Athletics look to avoid a sweep against the Baltimore Orioles. Right-hander Kyle Bradish will get the start for the Orioles.
The young A’s have battled in the series, but don’t have anything to show for it. They banged out 12 hits in the series opener Friday, but were just 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position and left nine men on base in a 9-4 loss. Ken Waldichuk turned in a good outing Saturday before Adrian Martinez allowed five runs (three earned) in the 10th inning for a 7-2 loss.
