After dropping the series opener to the visiting Seattle Mariners, the A’s hope to rebound in game two of the three-game set. The Athletics, at 27-27 remain in first place in the American League West a game and a half over the Mariners who are right behind them in second place.
The A’s hope to get jump-start from tonight’s starter, 23-year-old lefty Gage Jump called up from Las Vegas for the game today. He ranks as the A’s No. 3 prospect and No. 41 overall prospect in baseball, per MLB Pipeline. He was last week’s Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the Week following a stellar outing for AAA Las Vegas, tossing seven scoreless innings with no walks and nine strikeouts.
Jump will go up against 26-year-old right hander Emerson Hancock. Hancock is 3-2 on the year with a 3.07 ERA over ten starts. He’ll face off against this lineup for Mark Kotsay’s Athletics:
