Happy Wednesday, Athletics Nation!
The Astros came to Oakland this week with a 6-1 advantage in the season series between the two teams, but the A’s have been exacting sweet revenge over the past two games of the current series at the Coliseum as Lawrence Butler, Brent Rooker, and JJ Bleday continue to swing hot bats for an Oakland club that has been among baseball’s best offensive teams in July.
Back in May, the Astros swept four games in Houston and took two of three in Oakland; the A’s scored all of 10 runs in total in those seven games.
