The Astros seem bound and determined to do this the hard way, losing their fourth straight and getting swept by the A’s.
Hitting for the Astros has been a, shall I say, hit and miss proposition all year; the most consistent thing about their hitting is its inconsistency. So let’s hope that this current hitting drought is followed by a playoff torrent of hits and runs.
The A’s started the scoring in this game with a run in the second thanks to former Astro and old friend, Tony Kemp. He singled in Seth Brown, who led off the inning with a double.
