Oakland Series II
The O’s close their road trip with three games with Oakland. We took 3 of 4 from the A’s way back in mid-April. The likely pitching matchups appear to be:
Gibson (4.89 ERA) vs. Medina (5.31)
Irvin (4.92) vs. Waldichuk (6.07)
Bradish (3.18) vs. Sears (4.27)
Gibson allowed 1 run in 6.1 innings to get a win over the A’s in April. He’s has 12 career starts against Oakland, with a 3.82 ERA. We haven’t seen the rookie Medina this year. He’s been very good since June 9, throwing
If there’s any team in baseball that will break the sweepless streak…it’d be the 2023 Oakland Athletics.
