Welcome to A's baseball!
The A's re-re-match against the middling-but-can-sleepwalk-to-first-place Tigers.
Alex has a great preview of the series, so I'm not going in-depth. Seriously, read it.
Fox Sports has some good tidbits about the Anibal Sanchez vs. Scott Kazmir matchup:
Kazmir, limiting opponents to a .217 average, has had trouble against Victor Martinez (11 for 23) and Rajai Davis (9 for 18).
He will again match up with Anibal Sanchez (5-2, 2.64), who was in position to win last month's meeting. Sanchez took a shutout into the bottom of the ninth inning before closer Joe Nathan allowed Josh Donaldson's three-run homer.
If you don't remember, that was a legendary game.
Here are your lineups (sadly still only two catchers, but expected versus Sanchez). Let's Go Oakland!
