OAKLAND — Bring back the New York Yankees.
A day after completing a four-game series sweep against the Bronx Bombers in front of big, supportive crowds, the A’s dropped a quiet 4-1 decision to the Houston Astros Monday night in front of an even quieter Coliseum crowd numbering a mere 10,482.
It was the third smallest crowd of the year for the A’s, a big comedown after topping the 30,000 mark for three straight days against New York. It was a comedown on the field, too, as the A’s managed just four hits against Brad Peacock and three relievers and struck out 13 times in the process.
