OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Houston Astros and Athletics had their series finale Sunday postponed by rain, Oakland's first home rainout since April 2014.
The game will be made up on Sept. 9 as part of a doubleheader at the Coliseum.
Rain began early in the morning and was expected to continue throughout Sunday. The postponement was announced two hours before the scheduled first pitch.
"You always try to avoid the rainouts, yet looking at the forecast it looked like it was the right thing to do," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "I'm shocked. Since I've been here it's probably only rained a little bit during a game one time.
