Thanks to a high-scoring affair that ultimately favored the Astros, the team now sits pretty with 53 wins on the season. Sure, it wasn’t the prettiest of wins in terms of pitching, but beggars can’t be choosers.
I do feel somewhat bad for Jesse Hahn, the A’s starting pitcher last night. The Astros won the game so this feeling is mitigated, fair or not, to a certain extent from my perspective. But this is a man’s livelihood that the Astros are wrecking in the past week or so.

Between last night in Houston and the previous Thursday in Oakland, the Astros have tagged Hahn with 15 earned runs, 16 total if you can’t the lone unearned run.
