Mike Fiers (2-1, 5.73) versus Sean Manaea (lots of zeros)
The Astros headed down the West Coast to Oakland to start a three-game series with the Athletics. The A's are coming off a tough road trip that involved their bats being left behind, and they currently sit fourth in the AL West. Fourth is a heckuva lot better than fifth, which is where the Astros sit, thanks to a rough start to the season. The themes of the Astros' early season woes are as follows: Ken Giles, TOOTBLANS, poor starting pitching and RISP woes, and the Astros had the former two on display tonight.
