Last night the A’s came back from a horrific, come from behind, extra innings loss to defeat the reigning World Champion Houston Astros 8-3. This means that, worst case scenario the A’s will split the series with the Astros, or they could take the series three games to one with a win today.
Trevor Cahill has been activated from the DL to start today’s game for Oakland after being sidelined for a month with a right Achilles strain. Cahill has held his opponents to three runs or less in seven of his eight starts this season.
