Leake suffered his first loss of the season last time out, allowing five earned runs on seven hits against the Astros on Wednesday -- his least effective start of the season. He struck out seven, though, and walked only one.
Oakland touched Gonzalez for 8 runs in 3-plus innings his last time out. Gonzalez has walked more batters than he’s struck out, but Seattle has walked fewer times than all but 3 teams.
