KEY GAME INFORMATION
OAKLAND: After three straight playoff berths, the A's fell all the way to last place in 2015 when Billy Beane's bold moves to trade Yoenis Cespedes midway through 2014 and future MVP Josh Donaldson last offseason backfired. Oakland spent this offseason overhauling an ineffective bullpen and adding a few pieces to a lineup that needed help. Last year's 4.56 ERA for the relievers was the worst in the AL, and the team's 25 blown saves were second-worst. That led to a 19-35 record in one-run games, the most one-run losses in the majors. A healthy Doolittle and the additions of Axford, Madson, Rzepczynski and Hendriks should fortify the bullpen. Getting the ball there remains a question because Gray is the only proven starter. Hill went from independent ball to the majors and used a 1.55 ERA in four September starts to get a deal with Oakland and a spot in the rotation. Hahn and Graveman are coming off injuries, and Bassitt had one win in 13 starts. The return of Lowrie should help shore up the defense after the A's led the majors with 126 errors. Davis adds a needed power bat in the outfield. The A's have been surprise contenders before after making under-the-radar offseason additions, but it might be tough to pull that off this season.
ST LOUIS: The division-rival Cubs grabbed headlines by signing two former Cardinals, Jason Heyward and John Lackey. Chicago has a lot of young talent but so do the Cardinals. They've won the NL Central three straight seasons and been to the playoffs a franchise- best five consecutive years, including a World Series championship in 2011 and another Series appearance in 2013. In the outfield, Stephen Piscotty, Randal Grichuk, Holliday and Tommy Pham are all capable of hitting 20 homers. Yadier Molina is on track for opening day after recovering from a pair of thumb operations. There's an abundance of quality arms in the starting rotation even though St. Louis was outbid by Boston for David Price and lost Lance Lynn to reconstructive elbow surgery. Mike Leake could provide results similar to Lackey's, and is much younger. Jaime Garcia has an array of pitches and Carlos Martinez consistently throws in the high-90s (mph).
PREVIEW
Athletics-Cardinals preview
 

ST. LOUIS -- Which Jaime Garcia will take the mound Sunday at Busch Stadium?

Will it be the one who has been whacked for 11 runs in nine-plus innings of his last two starts, or will it be the one who lasted eight frames in each of his previous two outings?

The answer could decide if the St. Louis Cardinals will wrap up their set with the Oakland Athletics on a winning note, or if they'll head for a critical nine-game road trip through the National League Central off a series loss to one of the American League's worst teams.

The trends point toward a good game for Garcia (10-9, 4.37 ERA). He is 34-21 in 78 career games at home with a 2.87 ERA. What's more, Oakland (56-73) has lost 16 of the last 20 games when opponents start a left-hander and its 13-21 record against lefty starters is the worst in the AL.

But the A's were able to flip the script Saturday night in a 3-2 win despite picking up just four hits, spoiling the first major league start of Alex Reyes. They scored their runs on a bases-loaded walk, a fielder's choice grounder on which the Cardinals eschewed a sure out in favor of a risky throw to the plate that was late, and a sacrifice fly.

Oakland has walked just 327 times in 129 games, but drew five walks, four against Reyes, who lasted just 4 2/3 innings as the A's ran his pitch count up to 89.

"The coaches told us their starting pitcher was pretty wild," left fielder Khris Davis said. "So I was looking for the first good pitch to put a good swing on it."

St. Louis (68-60) didn't put many good swings together after starting the fourth inning with consecutive singles. Its final 17 hitters went down in order, with perhaps two hard-hit balls total in that span.

The result was the Cardinals failed to expand their 1 1/2-game lead on Miami and Pittsburgh for the NL's second wild-card spot. What's more, the New York Mets pulled within 2 1/2 games with a victory over Philadelphia.

"We know that we have a good team," St. Louis reliever Matt Bowman said, "and that if we can keep winning, everything will take care of itself."

St. Louis will again face a pitcher with which it's unfamiliar in right-hander Andrew Triggs (0-1, 4.38 ERA). His last outing was Monday night against Cleveland, which he blanked for six innings on just three hits and a walk, fanning six.

But Triggs settled for a no-decision when the offense couldn't solve Carlos Carrasco and Oakland eventually lost 1-0.

Triggs, who has been promoted and outrighted a whopping eight times this year, is one of three former relievers who have been forced into a starting role due to a spate of injuries that have decimated the rotation.

"You don't expect that many injuries in your rotation," A's manager Bob Melvin said, "but guys have been getting opportunities and making the most of them."
