It was not the offensive breakout we were all waiting and hoping for, but as an old saying goes: “May you be blessed with enough.” The offense scored 3 runs tonight; just enough. The pitching held the A’s to 2; just enough.
Astros scoring began in the third with an Alex Bregman RBI single, plating Tony Kemp, who had walked earlier. It was only Bregman’s 2nd RBI of the season, the other coming on a solo home run. See below.
The big blow for the Astros was Carlos Correa’s blast-off which seemed to want to scrape the roof of Minute Maid Park, but with the roof open, settled for the Shlumberger sign 388 feet past left center field.
