## Resource

The A’s face a must-win rubber match against the Pirates tonight, with Pride Night at Sutter Health Park adding urgency. After splitting the first two games, a victory would push them back above .500 and reignite their AL West race. Pitcher Aaron Civale, recently cleared from shoulder tendinitis, looks sharp after a rehab start, while a potent lineup led by Soderstrom, Wilson, and Zack Gelof’s 20-game hitting streak aims to exploit Braxton Ashcraft’s strong season. The Pirates return Henry Davis and Marcell Ozuna, but the A’s need to capitalize fast — this is their shot to stay alive in the division.
