The M’s will send struggling veteran Hisashi Iwakuma to the mound Tuesday. Iwakuma has a 4.65 ERA with a 1.42 WHIP through his first five starts this season, which includes giving up seven hits and five earned runs in his last outing.
The A’s offer an intriguing situation for Iwakuma.The A’s are last in MLB in on-base percentage, but are 10th in home runs. Iwakuma has struggled to keep the ball in the yard this season, as he's given up four home runs in his past three starts.
