Happy Monday, Athletics Nation! I hope you are having a safe and meaningful Memorial Day holiday.
The A’s dropped a second series to the Astros over the weekend, but at least managed to avoid another humiliating sweep like the last one in Houston. Yesterday’s loss closed out a 3-3 homestand throughout which the A’s won and lost on alternating days, besting the Rockies in a three game series before suffering the L-W-L against Houston. It’s nothing to write home about, but the .500 stretch sure beats Oakland’s last 1-9 road trip—and was a lot more fun to watch for the most part.
