One win from reaching the AL championship series for the first time in seven years, the Oakland Athletics face a pitcher they knocked around just over a month ago.
The A’s look to build on their latest showing and again frustrate Doug Fister as they try to close out the Tigers in Game 4 at Comerica Park on Tuesday.
Despite splitting the two AL division series games in Oakland, the A’s looked a bit shaky having totaled three runs and three extra-base hits. Things didn’t look promising Monday with a matchup against Anibal Sanchez, the AL’s ERA leader at 2.57, but Oakland took him deep three times on its way to a 6-3 victory.
