Oakland will send rookie right-hander Jared Koenig (1-2, 6.59 ERA) to the mound in search of his second win in as many starts. Koenig beat the Royals on Sunday, allowing no runs in 5.2 innings to pick up his first major league win. The Bay Area native was undrafted in 2016 and made his way up through the independent leagues before landing in the A’s farm system earning the 2021 Double-A Central Pitcher of the year award.
The Royals will start Brad Keller (2-8, 4.30 ERA), who picked up a win against the A’s last Saturday in his best start of the 2022 season. Keller struck out six batters allowing only one hit in seven innings of work to earn the 2-0 road win.
A’s left fielder Seth Brown leads the team with nine home runs and is riding a three-game hitting streak. The last time he faced the Royals, Brown went 3-for-4, including a solo home run in Sunday’s 4-0 win.
The Royals have won three of the four games against the Athletics and will play tomorrow for the final time this season.
