OAKLAND, Calif. -- When the Houston Astros swept a doubleheader from the New York Mets on Sept. 2 at Minute Maid Park, Charlie Morton gave up two runs in five innings in the opener and Brad Peacock allowed one run in 5 1/3 innings in the nightcap.
Morton and Peacock will team up again Saturday in a doubleheader against the Oakland Athletics at the Oakland Coliseum.
Morton will make his second career start against the A's in the opener against rookie right-hander Daniel Gossett. Then in the second game, Peacock will face Daniel Mengden, another rookie right-hander.
