With no room for error, McHugh stung by early walks
McHugh strikes out eight 1:24 8/8/15: Collin McHugh gives up two runs on five hits while striking out eight batters over six innings of work OAKLAND -- With the way the Astros have been struggling to score runs during their current road trip, allowing the A's to push across a pair in the first inning on Saturday afternoon certainly raised doubts about whether they could play from behind.
Astros starter Collin McHugh walked the first two batters he faced -- both of which scored -- and was otherwise terrific, but Houston went 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position and lost for the 13th time in their last 15 road games, 2-1, to the A's.
