Astros Struggles Continue. Surrender meekly in Oakland for Fifth Straight Loss, 6-0

A quirk in the calendar this year meant Labor Day fell on the latest date possible for the second time in five years. This was a leap year and the first Monday in September didn’t fall until the 7th, as had been the case in 2015. In a pure coincidence, the Houston Astros visited Oakland Coliseum to take on the A’s on Sept. 7 in both 2015 and 2020. And neither time was kind to them, as Monday’s 6-0 loss marked the first time the Astros fell on Labor Day since 2015, which was a 10-9 setback in Oakland.
