After a competitive 3-3 road trip, the Athletics are back home tonight to take on the St. Louis Cardinals in an interleague showdown at Sutter Health Park. The Cardinals, who struggled through a tough 2025 season, have bounced back impressively this year and currently sit in third place in the NL Central—just 3.5 games behind the division-leading Cubs. Meanwhile, the A's continue to hold a two-game lead over the Seattle Mariners atop the AL West.

On the mound for Oakland will be left-hander Jeffrey Springs, who enters the game with a 3-2 record and a solid 3.89 ERA across eight starts. Springs has been effective, racking up 39 strikeouts over 44 innings pitched. He'll be challenged by St. Louis's 27-year-old righty Andre Pallante, who brings a 3-3 record and a 4.34 ERA through seven starts this season.

The A's lineup will face a slight adjustment tonight, as shortstop Jacob Wilson was placed on the Injured List earlier today with a left shoulder subluxation. Despite that absence, the team is confident in their depth as they look to extend their division lead.
