Ryan Lavarnway in the Oakland lineup Friday
Oakland Athletics catcher Ryan Lavarnway is starting and hitting seventh Friday night.
What It Means:
With Minnesota Twins lefty Jaime Garcia on the bump, Oakland is going with a lineup heavy on right-handed sticks. Bruce Maxwell caught Thursday, but Lavarnway is behind the dish tonight.
Garcia has a 4.54 SIERA, but he's held right-handed hitters to a .319 wOBA this season. Lavarnway owns a .285 wOBA off southpaws for his career.
