Coming off of a solid performance Saturday night, the Oakland Athletics will try to salvage a series split Sunday when they wrap up a four-game set against the Houston Astros. After dropping the first two games of the series, the A’s won Saturday night 4-1 behind a good performance by Paul Blackburn and home runs from Zack Gelof and Seth Brown. Luis Medina will get the start for the A’s in the finale while Houston will go with right-hander Hunter Brown.
It might be a small consolation, but Oakland enter’s play Sunday with just one more loss than the Kansas City Royals for the worst record in the majors.
