Matt Chapman fails to join Oakland A’s breakthrough game

The Oakland A’s desperately needed a game such as the one they had on Friday night. Not only did the bats come to life, but they did so against the Astros, something that any A’s fan could appreciate. While it may be too little, too late to save the season, that 14-2 drubbing handed to Houston had to feel great.

Not everyone was able to join in the offensive festivities. Matt Chapman‘s difficult season with the bat continued on Friday as he was 0-5 on the day, striking out in each of his at bats.
