Reds vs. A's lineups: Khris Davis batting fourth in return from injury

Share

OAKLAND -- Following Mike Fiers' thrilling no-hitter Tuesday night, the A's will try to make it two in a row over the Cincinnati Reds Wednesday at the Coliseum.

Oakland will get a big boost in its lineup, as designated hitter Khris Davis returns from a left hip contusion, which kept him out of Tuesday's game. Davis leads the team with 10 home runs and 26 RBI, though he hasn't hit a homer since April 12.

Jurickson Profar moves up to the number two spot in the order, replacing Robbie Grossman, who drops to eighth. Profar went 2-for-3 Tuesday night with a solo home run and an RBI double. He enters Wednesday's game riding a five-game hitting streak, batting .350 (7-for-20) during that stretch.

Josh Phegley gets a night off behind the plate, as Nick Hundley will start at catcher and bat ninth.

Brett Anderson takes the hill for Oakland, looking for his fifth win of the season. The Reds counter with former A's right-hander Sonny Gray, who is still seeking his first victory of the year, despite a solid 3.89 ERA.
