Astros 0, A's 4: Oakland Spoils Peacock's Homecoming

Lack of timely hitting leads to second shutout of the season.

Brad Peacock flew in from Fresno this morning (and man, were his arms tired.  I'm sorry.)  He put together a pretty good start, keeping in mind that until last night he was planning to make his second rehab start for the Grizzlies.  Instead, due to the events of last nights game, here he was facing the A's in his season debut.  For the situation, he did not pitch poorly.  He threw five innings, and looked as sharp as a guy who should have been making a rehab start.
