The Oakland Athletics and rookie slugger Nick Kurtz return to the diamond on Monday night at Sutter Health Park, opening a three-game set against Spencer Torkelson and the Detroit Tigers.

Detroit limped into the All-Star break on a skid that bled into the second half, briefly putting their hold on the AL Central in jeopardy. But since then, the Tigers have steadied the ship and arrive in Sacramento with a commanding double-digit cushion atop the standings.

The A’s, meanwhile, head back to their temporary home following a solid 4-2 road swing. Oakland came out hot with a sweep of the Twins in Minnesota, but momentum cooled over the weekend in Seattle, where they dropped two of three and suffered an 11-4 setback in Sunday’s finale.

Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch Oakland Athletics vs Detroit Tigers MLB game, plus plenty more.
