THE COMEBACK WE NEEDED!: Athletics Rally Past Astros 4-3

The Athletics finally snapped their five-game losing streak in dramatic fashion, rallying from a 3-1 deficit to beat the Houston Astros 4-3. Jacob Lopez gave the A’s six strong innings, striking out nine while allowing just one run, and Donovan Walton provided the early offense with a 422-foot home run in the third inning. But after Houston grabbed control in the seventh on a Daulton Varsho homer and Jeremy Peña RBI single, the A’s appeared headed toward another frustrating loss. Then came the eighth inning. McNeil singled, Gelof walked, and a sacrifice bunt put the tying runs in scoring position before a wild pitch brought the A's within one. Lawrence Butler tied the game with a single, Tommy White doubled, and Jonah Heim delivered the go-ahead RBI groundout. Elvis Alvarado then slammed the door in the ninth with three straight outs. On Last Call A’s Postgame, we break down the comeback, Lopez’s performance, the eighth-inning rally, Tommy White’s three-hit night, the bullpen, the controversial sixth-inning moment involving Joe Espada and Hunter Brown, and what this win could mean for the A’s moving forward.
