Playing time on rise Kemp will start at second base and bat second Sunday against the Rockies.
Impact Kemp will stick in the lineup for the fifth time in six games, with three of his starts coming in left field and two coming at second base. While Ramon Laureano (hip) is on the shelf and the likes of Seth Brown (.704 OPS) and Stephen Piscotty (.655 OPS) aren't lighting the world on fire at the plate, the Athletics could continue to find more steady work for Kemp in the outfield when the team opposes right-handed pitching. Kemp enters Sunday's contest with a seven-game hitting streak, and he's batting .395 across 38 at-bats dating back to May 20.

Impact Trivino was called upon in the ninth inning to protect a three-run lead. He gave up a two-out single but nothing more to notch his eighth save. Since yielding five runs in a disastrous outing May 5, Trevino has not allowed an earned run over his subsequent nine outings covering 9.1 innings.

Impact The southpaw finished with his first quality start since May 15, rebounding nicely after allowing 13 earned runs over 15.2 innings across his previous three starts. Irvin also notched his highest strikeout total since striking out nine Blue Jays on May 4. He induced 15 swinging strikes in the contest and kept Colorado off the scoreboard after allowing a first-inning run. Irvin will carry a 3.89 ERA into his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for Friday at home versus Kansas City.

Notches seventh hold Petit secured his seventh hold in a win over the Rockies on Friday, allowing just one hit and no walks over 1.2 scoreless innings.
Impact The veteran reliever expertly navigated the hazards of Coors Field during his 21-pitch outing, getting 16 of his offerings into the strike zone while only allowing a single. Following an atypically erratic stretch during which he allowed multiple earned runs in three of five appearances, Petit has settled down to post three consecutive scoreless efforts covering a total of four innings.

Multi-hit effort in win Lowrie went 2-for-5 with an RBI single, a double and two runs in a win over the Rockies on Friday.
Impact The veteran's first multi-hit effort since May 21 included Lowrie's third double in the last five games. Lowrie's .245/.324/.383 slash line still has plenty of room for improvement, but he's putting together a solid bounce-back campaign with 15 two-baggers, four home runs and 28 RBI after what was essentially two seasons lost to injury.
