Astros: Wade Miley and Houston lose out in pitching duel

It was the kind of game that only true baseball fans can enjoy, two hurlers grinding it out in a classic pitcher’s duel, and by two unlikely combatants. The Astros ended up losing this one on a solo shot in the sixth by Matt Chapman on what Miley called a “lazy cutter”. That one pitch was the only difference and all the Athletics needed.

Miley and Montas both went six innings and both only allowed six runners on base. Miley gave up four hits and a walk, and Montas ceded three hits and 2 walks, each adding a hit batsman.
