Tonight at 8:40 PM CT, the Houston Astros will play the first game of a three-game series against the Oakland Athletics. This is the second of four times the two will play this season. They’ll play four more games in Oakland from July 20 through 23, then a three-game set back in Houston from September 11 through 13.
The first time the two teams met this year was this past weekend. Houston swept the A’s in three games, capped off by a 2-0 shutout on Sunday. Houston managed the win despite only five hits out of the lineup, including a pair by Martin Maldonado.
