Oakland Athletics
The Oakland A's struggled offensively in a five-game losing streak, but broke out with a 9-4 win over the D-Backs in Game 1 of their series. The team ranks 28th in runs scored and 24th in team ERA for the season. Brent Rooker and Shea Langeliers each had two RBI in the win, with Rooker leading the club in batting average and RBI. Langeliers ended a hitless streak with three hits in the game. However, the team will be without Abraham Toro until at least the All-Star break due to a hamstring injury. The A's have a dismal road record of 12-31 this season. Hogan Harris will be starting Game 2, coming off a tough start where he received little run support in a 3-0 loss. Despite a 28th ranking in power rankings, the A's offense averages 3.63 runs per game while their defense allows 4.83 points against them per game.
