I love me some brunch baseball!
The A's continue to play she-loves-she-loves-me-not with that annoying .500 mark, but they remain just a couple of games off the top spot in the American League West. With a win today, they will take the series from Kansas City and perhaps a little momentum heading into a three-game set with the Texas Rangers.
Tyson Ross takes the mound for Oakland, opposite Jeff Francis.
