Athletics take on Angels in final week of season

The Oakland Athletics face the Los Angeles Angels tonight in Sacramento, kicking off a two-game series. The A's are looking to end a disappointing season, having lost their last six games on a road trip to Cleveland and Tampa Bay. Rookie infielder Joshua Kuroda-Grauer returns to the lineup after recovery, while Max Muncy is on the injured list. Left-hander Brady Basso opens for the Athletics against Angels pitcher Yusei Kikuchi, who is dealing with an injury-plagued season. Both teams are vying to avoid finishing last in the AL West.
