Kap taking the mound looking to make it 4 in a row
Oakland is right back at it tonight in the second game of the series against the Washington Nationals. They’ll be looking to make it four in a row with a win tonight on the final day of August.
The rookie James Kaprielian will take the bump tonight and he’ll be opposed by a veteran in his 16th year in Anibal Sanchez. Young versus old in today’s pitching matchup.
If you thought last night’s lineup was on the younger side, take a look at tonight’s. Sean Murphy, Tony Kemp, and Chad Pinder are the only guys who aren’t rookies in there. Catcher/DH Shea Langeliers returns to the lineup after getting a breather yesterday, as done center fielder Cristian Pache, who returned to the team from Triple-A recently.
