The Oakland Athletics will try to make it three-straight wins Monday night when they begin a three-game series against the Texas Rangers. The A’s began their homestand with a two-game sweep of the San Francisco Giants in the Bay Bridge Series. The Rangers come in playing well having won six-straight and are trying to hold off the Astros in the AL West. Ken Waldichuk will get the start for Oakland Monday night while the Rangers will go with right-hander Dane Dunning.
It has been a disappointing season for Waldichuk who entered the season hoping to establish himself in Oakland’s rotation.
