Freddy Tarnok Named Opener For Wednesday
1 year agoOakland Athletics pitcher Freddy Tarnok has been named the opener for Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. The 24-year-old has thrown 5 2/3 innings over two relief appearances since being called up shortly after the All-Star break. Tarnok is the A's No. 5 prospect, according to MLB Pipeline. The assumption is that the team wants Tarnok to be a starting pitcher down the road. Possibly, the A's are just easing him into the role. Regardless, he'll start Wednesday's game, but left-hander Hogan Harris will likely pitch a bulk of the innings.
