May 20, 2013Game Thread #45: A's vs. Royals (1)
Athletics Nation — Trying for their first sweep outside of the AL West, the A's send A.J. Griffin to the mound against RHP Luis Mendoza. Oakland has won each of the first two games of this series by 2-1 scores.

For the second game in a row, Bob Melvin is going with the "platoon-based" up the middle combo of Jed Lowrie at SS and Eric Sogard at 2B, so perhaps Rosales' start at SS Friday night was an outlier rather than a new trend. Mendoza's numbers so far t...

Luckily, the Angels will likely face Luis Mendoza, Jeremy Guthrie, and Wade Davis as they have been less productive than former Angel Ervin Santana and James Shields. Mendoza and Davis have the most earned runs on KC's roster; therefore, I would like to see/expect Mark Trumbo to come out swinging to bring in some runs. As for Kansas City's hitting, Lorenzo Cain and Alex Gordon have a grea...
