OAKLAND -- Not even Dallas Keuchel could help the Astros avoid a four-game sweep at the hands of the A's, who tagged Houston's ace for four runs in a 10-2 victory at the Coliseum on Sunday afternoon.
A rebuilding A's club, hoping to disrupt the postseason picture in its final few weeks of play, prevented the Astros from building on their 86-win mark, leaving Houston in danger of losing the American League's top record, pending the outcome of Cleveland's game tonight.
A's starter Kendall Graveman held the Astros to one run on five hits across six strong innings opposite Keuchel, who allowed one run through his first five innings -- Matt Chapman homered to lead off the fifth -- before unraveling in the sixth, yielding three runs and recording just two outs.
