OAKLAND -- The Athletics' Sonny Gray didn't need any help as Oakland defeated Houston, 4-0, Tuesday night at the Coliseum, but the Astros provided it anyway.
The Astros' offense stranded seven runners and went 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position as they saw their lead over the Rangers in the American League West drop to one game following Texas' win in Seattle.
"Obviously, today wasn't one of the best days," Astros catcher Hank Conger said. "You've got to tip your hat to Sonny."
While Gray was solid throughout his seven scoreless innings, the Astros had their opportunities to put runs on the board.
