Game #78, Athletics vs Guardians Game Thread
What Late Inning Magic can we expect tonight?
If a stadium could talk, Sutter Health Park would be hoarse, but still screaming Kurtz, Kurtz, Kurtz after last night’s thrilling 10th inning walk-off homer by Nick Kurtz…his second walk-off in four days. But there’s a game to play tonight at that same field when the Athletics take on the visiting Cleveland Guardians. Cleveland is 37-36 and currently in second place in the American League Central Division.
Jeffrey Springs will get the start today for Mark Kotsay’s A’s. Springs, a 32-year-old lefty, is currently 5-5 with a 4.52 ERA and sixty-six strikeouts. This is the first time he’ll face the Guardians in an A’s uniform. He’ll go up against 26-year-old righty Tanner Bibee for the Guards. Bibee is 4-6 with a 3.79 ERA with sixty-five strikeouts over his fourteen 2025 starts.
Bibee will face this lineup for the A’s tonight:
Springs will go up against this lineup for Stephen Vogt’s Guardians:
