Athletics News
The Oakland Athletics are reeling after a rough week, losing six of their last seven games and facing yet another blow with Luis Severino heading to the 15-day IL due to a shoulder strain. The team's struggles at home are more than just tough luck, they seem to stem from a mental block that has left fans frustrated as the A's sit at 27-30 in the division. Tonight, J.T. Ginn will take the mound, and he has the chance to turn the tide after a solid performance recently, allowing just one unearned run in his last outing. With the Yankees coming back to town, the A's need to find their footing fast, especially as they continue to grapple with inconsistencies in both pitching and a lack of run support. The clock is ticking, and the A's need to snap this losing streak.
