The Houston Astros fell short of putting together an amazing victory that seemed like a pound-for-pound heavyweight slugfest between them and the Oakland A’s. It seemed as if it were a contest to see who would hit the most home runs possible and it certainly was a game that didn’t disappoint.
Aside from the atmosphere in the stadium, the game had all the fixings of a competitive postseason matchup sans the capacity-crowds that a matchup like that would entail. Nope, we’re talking Oakland Coliseum where last night’s attendance rounded out to a modest 15,323 which is actually quite good for the A’s.
