Astros 5, A's 4: Series opener is a wild, extra inning affair

Dalls Keuchel entered tonight's game against the Oakland A's with a 0.90 ERA...

...and he improved it to 0.62.  This was thanks to another masterful performance: 9.0 IP, while scattering just 2 hits and 2 walks, while striking out 4.  The Bearded One is really, really good.  Unfortunately for him though, the Astros were not able to award him with the much-deserved win, as they let a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the 10th slip away.  The game sat at 0-0 through 9, as the fans were treated to a good ol' fashioned pitcher's duel, as A's and former Sugar Land Skeeters' starter, Scott Kazmir, blanked us with 7 great innings.
