After losing two of three games to the Twins in Minnesota, the White Sox travel to West Sacramento for a three-game series against the Athletics. The series is a bit different than usual as the Athletics are playing home games this season at Sutter Health Park, the home of the Triple-A Sacramento Rivers Cats.
It’s also part of a 10-game road trip that includes series in cities across three different time zones – Boston, Minneapolis and West Sacramento. The White Sox are 2-5 to begin the road trip, winning the series finale against the Red Sox and Twins.
Manager WIll Venable plans to use left-hander Tyler Gilbert as an opener for Friday’s game, and then turn to Sean Burke, who has started four games this season. For the Athletics, former New York Mets and Yankees right-hander Luis Severino takes the mound with a 3.31 ERA.
Here’s more information on Friday’s game.
