Oakland Athletics vs Seattle Mariners nba live streaming baseball radio video game 22 april, 2011. Game Review: Tyson Ross (1-1, 3.60) also might have that potential, but for now, the right-hander is just happy to be back in Oakland's rotation. After losing the battle for the fifth starter's spot in the spring, Ross replaces Dallas Braden after the left-hander was placed on the 15-day disabled list Monday with a stiff shoulder.

Ross, who turns 24 on Friday, is 0-2 with a 7.04 ERA in two career starts, with the last coming May 20 against Detroit.
"I'm excited," he told the A's official website. "I'm looking forward to the opportunity to start again."
In his lone appearance against Seattle, Ross had two strikeouts and threw 2 1/3 scoreless innings in a 6-5 home win April 7, 2010.
While Oakland (9-10) leads the majors with a 2.52 ERA, Ross probably shouldn't expect too much run support. The A's had just five hits Thursday -- all singles -- and the club is batting .237 with the second-fewest runs (66) in the AL.
The Mariners have been getting great production from utility infielder Adam Kennedy, who could get his third consecutive start at first base Friday with Justin Smoak on the bereavement list.
Kennedy, playing for his fourth team in four seasons -- including the A's in 2009 -- homered for the second straight game Thursday and is batting a team-best .316.
The Mariners could also have Milton Bradley in the lineup after he missed the series opener with an illness.
Daric Barton, a career. 322 hitter in Seattle, might be back at first base for Oakland after an illness prevented him from starting Thursday. He struck out in the eighth inning as a pinch hitter, dropping his batting average to .071 (1 for 14) over the past five games.
Seattle has won three of four against Oakland this season after losing the last five meetings in 2010.
