The Oakland A’s beat the Houston Astros 21-7 on Tuesday. It was a stellar offensive showing, big enough to be worth a closer look. Here are the 21 best things about the supernova of scoring we just witnessed.
1. Season high
The 21 runs were the most the A’s have scored in a game this season. Their next-highest came just over two weeks ago, when they dropped 19 on the Royals, and before that they put up 17 against the Tigers back in May. Their 21 runs also tied for second in the entire majors this year, along with the Astros themselves, who just two days prior had beaten the Mariners 21-1.
