Game #52: A’s at Padres Game Thread
Time to get back in the win column
ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - MAY 18: J. T. Ginn #35 of the Athletics looks on from the mound during the eighth inning against the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium of Anaheim on May 18, 2026 in Anaheim, California.

The team remains in first place in the AL West though so can’t let last night’s struggles follow them into the second game of this weekend set against the Padres. On the mound for the Athletics tonight will be right-hander J.
T. Ginn. The right-hander is coming off a tough-luck loss last time out when he went eight no-hit innings before allowing a single and walk-off two-run home run to ruin his evening.
That tough ending aside, Ginn’s 2. 98 ERA leads the team’s rotation as the 26-year-old has been a revelation for the squad. Let’s hope his extended outing last time out won’t affect him tonight in what’ll be his ninth start of the season.
