It was the same as yesterday, and the week before that, and the fortnight before that.
The Oakland A’s did just enough to lose against the Houston Astros, this time by a 4-3 margin at Minute Main Park. The A’s put together some rallies but couldn’t score, they pitched great but still allowed a crooked number, and the Astros played terrible defense except for the one play they needed to make at the perfect moment by the player you both most and least expected. So, a typical Wednesday lately.
There are a dozen ways Oakland could have won this game, and all they needed was just one more thing to go right.
