Athletics aim to snap losing streak against Dodgers in Oakland

The Athletics face the Dodgers tonight at home, looking to recover from a 9-4 loss in the series opener. Veteran pitcher Jeffrey Springs will start for Oakland as they seek to end a three-game slump. Springs, who has a 5.52 ERA this season, has performed well historically against the Dodgers. Meanwhile, the Dodgers will counter with left-hander Justin Wrobleski, who holds a 2.71 ERA and is coming off a strong outing against the Twins. Oakland's lineup remains largely unchanged from the previous game, hoping for improved production from their bottom-order hitters.
