Game Thread #108: Athletics vs Rangers

Although he’s not playing today, hopefully some of the momentum that Ramon Laureano created last night will continue on. After hitting what was the game-deciding home run last night, Laureano will be getting two days off to heal some bumps and bruises that he acquired from his all-out playstyle, thanks to an off day on Monday.

Hoping to even up the series on its final day is Mike Fiers, who has been the most consistent starter on the A’s since his no-hitter. He will be opposed by Pedro Payano, who is making his first major league start.

First pitch is at 1:07. Lineups are below.
