The Oakland Athletics’ winning streak ended at two as they fell to the Houston Astros in the first of a four-game set.
This time, it wasn’t the pitching’s fault as Hogan Harris threw his first quality start in over a month. After giving up four or more runs in every one of his past four starts, the southpaw only allowed two runs over six innings this start, keeping a strong Astros lineup at bay for the first two-thirds of the game. He also struck out six batters and didn’t allow any walks, a huge milestone for a pitcher who’s biggest weakness has typically been his middling command.
