HOUSTON — Enduring a five-game losing streak is tough enough on its own.
Watching a former teammate play a part in prolonging the misery is worse.
Josh Reddick wasn’t the most dominant player on the field Friday for the Astros, but he picked his spots to make his presence felt, and that added a little salt to the wound for the A’s in a 9-4 defeat that was their fifth in a row. They’ve now lost 10 straight times to Houston.
Reddick was mad at himself after not making the play on Ryon Healy’s double in the sixth inning.
