The sun was high as the Houston Astros and Oakland Athletics game on Wednesday at the Oakland Coliseum started around 12:30 p.m. pacific time. That fact made all of the game's flyballs an interesting endeavor for both sides. TheAstros had Doug Fister on their side to control the A's offense for seven scoreless innings in a 7-0 Astros victory on Wednesday.
The Astros faced former Houston prospect and Texas A&M product Daniel Mengden on the mound for the A's. Houston wasted little time in making a mark on the scoreboard against Mengden.
