The Athletics and Tampa Bay Rays continue their series this evening at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento. After a night when Springs didn’t have his best stuff, Bido ran out of gas and the A’s hitters could not seem to put hits together with any consistency, we hope they can turn things around tonight.
Jacob Lopez gets the start for the A’s. The 27-year-old lefty is 5-6 with a 3.57 ERA in eighteen appearances (fourteen starts). Just like last night’s starter, Jeffrey Springs, he came over in December trade with these Tampa Bay Rays. He started against them on June 30 and gave up three earned runs on five hits during his 3.1 innings on the mound.
Lopez will match up against 26-year-old righty Shane Baz for the Rays. Baz is 8-8 with a 4.92 ERA in 23 starts for the Rays this season.
Baz will face off against this lineup for the A’s tonight:
