MLB news and notes from Sunday.
After suffering another series loss in Texas, the Oakland Athletics will continue their road trip with a four-game series against the Los Angeles Angels. Ken Waldichuk and Mason Miller are listed as the probable starters for the first two games of the series. Miller was sharp in his debut allowing two runs while striking out five in 4 1/3 innings against the Cubs. JP Sears would be on turn to pitch in the third game of the series, but Oakland will likely need another spot starter for Thursday’s finale against Shohei Ohtani.
