The A’s general manager, David Forst spoke to the media after how veteran lefty Mike Minor fits with A’s for the rest of the 2020 season and into the playoffs.

And with that, the A's now are scheduled to play 10 games over a seven-day span from Sept. 8 through the 14th. They will play three doubleheaders in three different cities over that period. According to A's Baseball Information Manager Mike Selleck, that will be the most games the A's have played in a week's time since 1966.
