The A's and Seth Etherton with a 1-0 record and a 5.84 ERA take on the Indians and Jake Westbrook with a 1-7 record and a 5.50 ERA.
The A's continue their slide and turn to basically their sixth starter to help pull them out of it. Things don't look good.
Ken Macha sends out this group today:
Kotsay
Ellis
Chavez
