SP Jose Berrios
In his last outing Jose Berrios (5-3) earned the win, allowing one run on two hits and two walks over six innings against the White Sox. He struck out four.
Berrios was effective Monday, limiting baserunners and working efficiently despite not recording many strikeouts, needing just 76 pitches to get through his outing.
The right-hander has been boom-or-bust lately, allowing six earned runs in two of his past eight starts but one or fewer in the other six, resulting in a 2.61 ERA and 1.01 WHIP across 48.1 innings during that span.
On the season, the 31-year-old holds a 3.53 ERA and 1.21 WHIP over 112.1 innings in 19 starts.
Jeffery Springs gets the ball for the Athletics. In his last outing Springs (7-6) allowed a run on six hits and a walk while striking out two over six innings to earn the win over Atlanta.
Springs continued a strong stretch -- over his last five starts, he's given up just nine runs (seven earned).
He's not overwhelming hitters with strikeouts, and he continues to be prone to the long ball, he's allowed five homers in that five-start span, including a solo shot to Eli White in Tuesday's outing.
For the season, Springs has a 3.92 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 81:38 K:BB with 17 homers allowed over 103.1 innings across 19 appearances (17 starts).
George Springer has hit 16 home runs with 53 RBI. Both are team-highs, Springer ranks 36th in homers and 31st in RBI in the bigs.
Bo Bichette is hitting .282 with 24 doubles, a triple, 12 home runs and 24 walks, Bichette has at least one base hit in six games in a row. In his last 10 games he is hitting .345 with five doubles, a home run, four walks and four RBIs.
Alejandro Kirk's .308 batting average paces his team. Kirk takes a four-game streak with at least one hit into this one. In his last five games he is hitting .338 with three walks and an RBI.
Brent Rooker has racked up a team-best 20 home runs and 50 runs batted in.
