Game Thread #13: Athletics at Astros
Troy Taormina-USA TODAY SportsThe A’s will attempt to avoid a sweep in their very first road series of the year. Facing off against a very good Astros team, Mike Fiers will see if he can sustain his strong start to the season. The Astros traded for Mike Fiers, along with Carlos Gomez, back in 2015, in exchange for Josh Hader, Domingo Santana, and others, where he threw a no hitter against the Dodgers in just his third start with the organization. He has not surrendered a run in his last twelve innings pitched, and for the sake of the A’s staying over .500, ideally that streak will continue.
