Lefty Patrick Sandoval will take the mound for the Angels against A’s Righty Shintaro Fujinami. This will be “Fuji’s” first major league start.
The A’s lineup will have a very different look today with Esteury Ruiz moving up to the leadoff spot, Aledmys Diaz moving to third from Shortstop with Nick Allen taking over at short.
