• Sanchez will be making his fourth straight road start and looking to bounce back from an uneven outing at Minnesota on Tuesday. He held the Twins to just four hits in six innings but gave up a season-high four earned runs while walking four and allowing his first two home runs of the year. Oakland slugger Khris Davis is 3-for-5 with a home run against the 26-year-old Sanchez, who has been knocked around for 10 runs in 10 1/3 innings through his first two career starts versus the Athletics.

• Anderson has three quality starts among his first four outings, including six innings with two earned runs allowed at Texas last Sunday. The 31-year-old is 16-12 with a 3.44 ERA in his career in Oakland. Justin Smoak is 4-for-12 with two doubles and two walks against Anderson.

• Smoak also homered Saturday and is 10-for-26 during an eight-game hitting streak.

• Oakland’s starting pitchers have a 7.67 ERA over the last 13 games.
