Despite a setback Saturday, the Oakland Athletics will try to secure a series win Sunday when they wrap up a four-game series against the Chicago White Sox. The A’s took the first two games of the series winning 8-5 and 12-4. They fell behind early Saturday in a 6-2 loss. Still the A’s have won four of six overall and have a chance Sunday to score their second consecutive series win.
Paul Blackburn will get the start for the A’s Sunday and will be looking to close out a solid month of August. Blackburn allowed four hits and two runs over six innings in his last start against Kansas City.
