OAKLAND -- Each of the A's four starters in the series win over the Astros gave up just one run in 6 2/3 innings or more.
On Thursday, Aaron Brooks proved his first start wasn't a fluke. The next day, Sonny Gray tossed his third complete game in his last six starts. The day after that, Jesse Chavez bounced back after a poor stretch of starts.
On Sunday, it was Chris Bassitt's turn, and he didn't disappoint. Bassitt pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing one run on three hits and striking out a career high 10 on 112 pitches in a 5-4 win over the Astros.
