The A's and Barry Zito with a 13-12 record and a 3.75 ERA take on the Twins and Brad Radke with a 9-11 record and a 3.91 ERA.
Bobby Crosby is BACK. The A's need to win this game. As a matter of fact they need to consistently win this week to set up the series with the Angels. And Crosby, if he can provide the same kind of spark he did earlier, could be just the remedy the A's need to help them.
The A's offense looks like this:
Ellis
Kendall
Kotsay
Chavez
Payton
Hatteberg
Crosby
Johnson
Swisher
Macha kept his promise and has Crosby hitting seventh for the time being.
The Twins go with this lineup:
Stewart
Ford
Mauer
LeCroy
Jones
Cuddyer
Morneau
Castro
Bartlett
Hopefully Zito has a few more big games left in him this year. And it all starts with 12 games left.
LET'S GO A'S!!!!!!!
