Tuesday Thread: A's at Royals

If the Royals want to win a Wild Card spot, they can't afford to lose many more games. Losing any matchups with Danny Duffy on the mound is inexcusable at this point. Tonight, Duffy will oppose Jharel Cotton, who has thrown just 6.1 major-league innings.

This is a must-win game.

Here's the lineup. New dad Salvador Perez makes his return:

Merrifield 2B

Morales DH
Perez C
Gordon LF
Cuthbert 3B
Escobar SS
Orlando RF

Did you know: Royals catcher Salvador Johan Perez has two children: Salvador Johan Perez Jr., and Johan Salvador Perez. Creativity is overrated, isn't it?
