A's looking to get pitching back on track in finale

Jun 17, 2007 - 1:14 PM St. Louis (29-36) at Oakland (37-30) 4:05 pm EDT

OAKLAND, California (Ticker) - After trading lopsided victories, the St. Louis Cardinals and Oakland Athletics meet in the rubber game of the series on Sunday.

The A's started this series with a 14-3 win on Friday. But the Cardinals rebounded for a 15-6 triumph on Saturday.

Joe Kennedy (2-4, 3.50 ERA) takes the mound for the Athletics. The lefthander has pitched well at home this season, going 1-1 with a 2.63 ERA in six starts.

Recalled from the minors to start in place of Brad Thompson, Anthony Reyes (0-8, 6.08) gets the call for the Cardinals. The righthander, who won Game One of the World Series last October, was abysmal in his first nine starts this season before being optioned to the minors.

St. Louis has scored just 10 runs in Reyes' nine starts.
