It was a total smack-down last night. The Astros scored three touchdowns while holding the hapless Mariners to one run as Gerrit Cole one-hit the M’s.
After the Baltimore game in which the Astros scored 23 runs, the bats went silent for a while. Will history repeat itself?
Zack Greinke (14-5, 3.09 ERA) takes the mound for the Astros, opposed by former Astro Mike Fiers (14-3, 3.51 ERA).
The A’s are 9.5 games behind the Astros for the lead in the AL West. No doubt, they are hoping for a sweep in this four game series, which would bring them to within 5.
