After suffering a 5-1 defeat in Friday's series opener against the Toronto Blue Jays, the Athletics will see a familiar face on the mound Saturday in Game 2.
Former Los Angeles Angels right-hander Matt Shoemaker will get the start for Toronto in the middle game of the three-game set. In his career against the A's, Shoemaker is 6-3 with a 4.19 ERA in 15 career appearance.
The A's, meanwhile, will counter with right-hander Mike Fiers, who has gotten off to a rocky start this season, allowing five or more runs in three of his five starts this season.
