Jacob Lopez Set to Start for Athletics Against Mets

Left-hander Jacob Lopez is scheduled to take the mound for the Oakland Athletics on Saturday in the second game of their weekend series against the New York Mets. Lopez has struggled to pitch deep into games in his recent outings, but the Athletics are hoping for a strong performance as they look to reach the .500 mark and snap the Mets' winning streak. The start represents a key opportunity for the southpaw to establish himself in the rotation during this early-season stretch.
