The A’s are down by 1 in a tight afternoon affair against the Cardinals. Tanner Roark has looked strong in his A’s debut, but has averaged more than 20 pitches per inning and is likely not long for the game after just 4 innings pitched.
Offensively, the A’s haven’t taken advantage of some early baserunners, as Adam Wainwright’s curveball has been baffling hitters all game long. Khris Davis, Mark Canha, and Stephen Piscotty are due up.
