The outcome wasn’t great, but the A’s made it exciting, losing to the Houston Astros 5-4 in the series finale on Wednesday afternoon.
If you turned the game on late, then you turned it on at the right time because you didn’t miss a whole lot. Houston was no-hitting Oakland for the first six innings while the A’s held the Astros to just one run over the first eight. The A’s took a brief lead, but a rare collapse from the bullpen ended up being the difference, as Houston scored four in the ninth to win the game.
