A's Battle Dodgers in Crucial Game | Oakland Athletics News

The As are in a slump, dropping their third straight game to the dominant Dodgers, who crushed them with nine runs and three homers. With a chance to even the series, they’re turning to veteran Jeffrey Springs — struggling with a 9.8 ERA in June and seeking his first win since April — who must keep the ball in the park and go deep into the game to give the bullpen a break. Facing Dodgers’ rising star Justin Wrobleski, a pitcher who doesn’t strike out many but shuts down offenses, the A’s need patience and precision at the plate. Lineup changes aim to spark offense, but this is a must-win moment for a team fighting to stay alive in the playoff race.
