Result: Win
Play: Oakland Athletics
Rating: 8/10*
The Oakland Athetlics opened the with with a 7-0 loss to Texas, but they scored a total of 13 runs in winning the next two games. Tonight they'll host the Seattle Mariners who have won five of their last six, but they're just 1-6 on the road this season.
The M's left-hander James Paxton (2-0, 0.00 ERA) has been outstanding so far tossing 21 scoreless innings, but how much longer can we expect that to continue? The A's meanwhile are sending a real wild card in Cesar Valdez to the mound. He'll make his first big-league game since 2010 but posted a 2.70 ERA at Triple-A Nashville this season, Valdez looking to make the most of this opportunity as replacement for Kendall Graveman who wound up on the 10-day disabled list Monday, and I think he'll do enough to help Oakland keep this a close game.
