Good morning Athletics Nation!
The Athletics stole the first two games from the division rival Houston Astros. Things are going well. We have secured the series win. The club will now have a chance at a three-game sweep, which would be their first since early July. Playing spoiler is always fun but doing it against these guys is extra juicy. Houston is still currently in position to go to the playoffs yet again but they’re not looking good and their division lead is just four games. The club will turn to righty rookie Mitch Spence this morning with the hope of finishing off the Astros for good to end the season on a high note against the division leaders.
