By the time the A’s recorded the game’s first out, the Astros were at the same time scoring their first run. It was actually a moment of relief for A’s fans who hoped Jesse Hahn, who induced two consecutive sacrifice fly-outs that made it 2-0 Houston, had stopped the bleeding long enough to find his control and eventually allow A’s bats to get to Houston’s young starting pitcher.
Alas... of the 57 pitches Hahn threw in his two innings of work, most of them were outside of the strike zone and those that did land within the strike zone, got every bit of it.
