The Athletics will send right-hander Paul Blackburn to the mound in an attempt to slow down Kyle Tucker in the continuation of a four-game series on Saturday night in Oakland.
Tucker has been a one-man wrecking crew in the first two games of the set, collecting a double, three home runs and six RBIs as the Astros have put up 3-1 and 6-4 victories.
Tucker had a two-run, go-ahead double against Harris in Thursday's win before taking Sears deep in his first and third at-bats Friday, belting a solo shot and then a two-run homer. "He's done a phenomenal job making adjustments, putting in consistent hard work every day and becoming the player he was hyped up to be," Brantley said. "Just seeing the quality of work from the inside that he does every day to get ready to perform at a very high level."
Despite his success against Tucker, the 28-year-old has never beaten the Astros in six previous meetings, including five as a starter, during which he's allowed 30 earned runs and 38 hits in 24 innings, an ERA of 11.25.Shooting for a fourth straight win overall and a ninth in a row against the A's, the Astros will call upon a right-hander of their own, Cristian Javier .
