Oakland has taken the first game of each of its past three series, including Monday night at the Metrodome, but the A's have not won after the first game of a series since July 27. Overall, Oakland is 24-18 in the first game of a series and 33-50 in all other games.

"That's the job that he was brought up here to do," A's manager Bob Geren said.
