Ginn got the call to start after two excellent outings in Triple-A and was outstanding in his season debut for the Athletics. He held the Mets scoreless through five innings before Brandon Nimmo took him deep for a solo homer in the sixth. The 25-year-old right-hander scattered three more hits and two walks while striking out six. Ginn’s fastball was notably higher at 94 mph, up from his 92 mph last season. That improvement and the early results certainly warrant some interest in deeper leagues. He’s currently lined up for a start against the Brewers in Milwaukee on Friday.

As a team, the A’s were only able to muster four total hits and two walks in the contest — with Butler the only member of their offense to reach base twice. He also struck out twice in the ballgame. On the season, he’s hitting a disappointing .249/.307/.441 with eight homers, 23 RBI and eight stolen bases through his first 231 plate appearances.

Oof. The 27-year-old left-hander walked a batter and didn’t record a strikeout in the miserable performance. All of the damage done against him came in the second inning, including home runs off the bats of Ernie Clement and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Lopez got just two swings and misses on 43 pitches on the night, posting a miserable CSW of 21 percent. He’s now 0-3 with a 6.32 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and a 17/9 K/BB ratio over 15 2/3 innings in six appearances (three starts) with the A’s this season. It remains to be seen if he’ll draw another start on Tuesday against the Twins, or if he’ll head back to Triple-A Las Vegas for more seasoning.

Bleday is now 6-for-9 with a home run, a steal, and three RBI in his two minor league games. Meanwhile, Denzel Clarke struck out four times on Wednesday and has 13 strikeouts in 17 MLB plate appearances. It seems likely that we see Bleday back up for Clarke in the next few weeks.
