A's Struggle to Spark Offense | Houston Astros News

The Athletics fell flat again, losing 4-0 to the Astros in a brutal offensive outing that left their pitchers stranded. With just three hits and zero runs scored with runners in scoring position, Oakland’s bats went cold despite multiple chances. J.T. Ginn battled through five innings but couldn’t hold off Houston’s timely hitting, including a sacrifice fly and two doubles that broke the scoreless tie. The Astros added insurance in the eighth and sealed it with a ninth-inning shutout. Now at five games without a win, the A’s turn to Jacob Lopez against Hunter Brown tomorrow — hoping this is the start of a turnaround before their skid drags on.
