Have you been in a game that seems to never end? If you haven’t, then take a look at the rough contest the Astros lost 14-2 against the Athletics on Friday night to begin the series. The ‘Stros bullpen just plummeted in one of the most difficult, painful games to watch this season.
The contest was close and interesting through the first six innings. At the end of the day, the score was 3-2 to begin the seventh —thanks in part to José Altuve’s 30th homer of the season—, but everything fell off the Earth in the final third of the game in which the A’s ambushed Yimi García, Brooks Raley, and Seth Martínez.
