However, the Athletics are the worst of the five clubs in their first season in Sacramento, thanks largely to their 0-5 record vs. the Angels this season. The Athletics hosted Los Angeles in May and got swept in four games.

The Athletics announced that Wilson had been scratched just hours before the game, and no reason was given at the time. It has since been revealed Wilson is dealing with left hamstring tightness (via Martín Gallegos of MLB.com). Fellow infielder Luis Urías replaced the 23-year-old.
