At 84-59, the Athletics enter this western matchup against the Houston Astros (94-50) pushing for post-season baseball, battling to pick up a wild card spot. But this isn’t the only accomplishment pushing the Athletics to win this evening. Mike Fiers will be taking the mound and seeking to tie the Oakland Athletics’ all-time winning streak by a pitcher as he enters this game with 12 straight wins, one short of Catfish Hunter’s 1973 streak of 13. Win tonight, tie the record. This is not to say that this is the longest consecutive win streak by a pitcher in franchise history.
