The A's a reeling right now and are willing to do anything to avoid a sweep against the Red Sox.
But Bob Melvin isn't making many changes to his lineup. Despite dropping their fifth straight game on Tuesday, the only change to the A's is catcher Josh Phegley getting back in the crouch.
Mike Fiers, who has struggled so far this season with a 7.03 ERA in his seven starts, will look to put an end to this fire. In five career appearances against the Red Sox, he's 3-0 with a 1.57 ERA.
