Athletics Struggle Amid Pitching Woes

The Athletics took another crushing loss, falling 5-1 to the Astros — their second straight defeat. Offense was nearly nonexistent (just five hits), and the pitching, led by surprise starter Jack Perkins (a reliever thrust into the rotation), crumbled early with a three-run homer. While Henry Bolte’s hot streak (.350+ over the last week) offers hope, inconsistency at the top of the order and a shaky rotation keep the team stuck. They need to stabilize both ends of the lineup to turn things around. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
