Athletics looking for an offensive spark

Apr 11, 2007 - 2:38 PM Chi White Sox (3-4) at Oakland (4-5) 3:35 pm EDT

OAKLAND, California (Ticker) -- The Oakland Athletics continue to have trouble scoring runs.

The Athletics hope for an offensive explosion on Wednesday when they face Mark Buehrle and the Chicago White Sox in the finale of a three-game series at McAfee Coliseum.

Oakland has failed to score more than two runs in a game in its last five contests - its longest such streak since 1980.

Buehrle (0-0, 6.75 ERA) pitched for just 1 1/3 innings last Thursday against Cleveland before he was hit with a line drive off the left arm.

The All-Star lefthander owns a 3-8 record with a 3.86 ERA in 19 games, including 15 starts, against Oakland in his career.

The Athletics will counter with lefthander Joe Kennedy (0-1, 1.50).

Oakland scored two runs off closer Bobby Jenks to pull out a 2-1 victory on Tuesday. Chicago won the series opener, 4-1.
