What happened: The Athletics are scheduled to continue the series with a 2-1 lead. They enter at 38-39 on the season, with the game still in pregame status.

Why it matters: The series standing gives the Athletics control of the set, but nothing from this scheduled game has changed the count. Their run prevention remains a pressure point, with 5.3 runs allowed per game entering play.

By the numbers: Athletics: 38-39 this season; last five: LWWLL; scoring 4.6 runs per game; allowing 5.3 runs per game. Series standing: Athletics lead 2-1.

What to watch: Watch the confirmed lineup and pitching availability before first pitch. The next update is whether the Athletics can stabilize after the June 20 shutout result.
