Friday was a bad day all around for the A's.
First, Oakland's best starting pitcher, Frankie Montas, was suspended 80 games for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy. Then, the A's four-game winning streak was snapped as the Rays picked up a 5-3 win.
The A's will look to get back in the win column Saturday afternoon at the Coliseum when they send right-hander Mike Fiers to the mound.
The Rays will counter with righty Yonny Chirinos.
Here's how the lineups look to shape up for the Saturday afternoon matchup. You can follow on NBC Sports California or by downloading and streaming on the MyTeams app. First pitch is scheduled for 1:07 p.m. PT, with coverage beginning at 12:30.
