Osvaldo Bido is set to take the mound as the starting pitcher for the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Texas Rangers.
This represents Bido’s inaugural start for the A’s, following his standout performances in the minor leagues, notably with the Las Vegas Aviators in Triple-A. There, he boasts an impressive 2.59 ERA and a career-best strikeout rate of 30%, equivalent to 11.20 strikeouts per nine innings. Bido’s recent achievements have earned him a spot in the A’s clubhouse, a decision affirmed by manager Mark Kotsay prior to Tuesday’s game. Of particular note are his last two outings, where he pitched a combined total of 12 1/3 scoreless innings, conceding just five hits, walking four batters, and striking out an impressive 15 opponents.
