The Oakland Athletics got a good performance from Hogan Harris, but the offense didn’t do much and the Houston Astros pulled away late in a 6-3 loss.
It didn’t take long for the A’s to find themselves in an early deficit. Austin Pruitt got the start as the opener and allowed a leadoff single to Jose Altuve. Jeremy Pena then jumped on an inside fastball and drove it out to left to give Houston a 2-0 lead.
Hogan Harris entered as expected in the second and issued a one-out walk to Martin Maldonado, but then got Altuve to bounce into an inning ending double play.
