After losing both ends of Saturday's doubleheader, the A's will try to bounce back Sunday to earn a series split with the Texas Rangers.
With Oakland facing left-hander Drew Smyly, both Mark Canha and Chad Pinder are in the starting lineup. Canha moves up to the No. 2 two spot, while Pinder will bat seventh and give Jurickson Profar a day off at second base.
Canha belted his 10th home run of the season Saturday night, accounting for Oakland's only run in the nightcap. His .951 OPS leads the A's.
