The Oakland Athletics will try to put an end to a six-game losing streak and avoid a sweep Wednesday afternoon when they finish off their season series with the Seattle Mariners. The A’s are 0-5 on their current season-ending 10-game homestand at the Coliseum. Rookie right-hander Joey Estes will make his major league debut for Oakland Wednesday while Seattle will go with young righty George Kirby.
Estes is the second A’s pitching prospect to debut over the last week. Joe Boyle made his debut Sunday as an opener and tossed three scoreless innings against the Astros.
