On the Oakland A’s podcast with Barbara:
#1 On Sunday in the fourth inning at the Oakland Coliseum was where the Astros took charge and didn’t just get a lead, but they had a rally that deflated a ballpark. Yanier Diaz hit a sac fly and scored Jon Singleton, who got on from a double, 1-0 Astros.
#2 After the Astros Mauricio Dubon got on base from a horrendous double, Jose Altuve singled and scored Jake Meyers and Dubon, 3-0 Astros.
#3Following the Altuve single, Kyle Tucker hit a two run homer, 5-0 Astros and Aaron Brooks was now fighting a different battle.
#4 A’s finally got on the board when Max Schuemann hit a lead off home run off Blanco, 5-1 Astros still in the lead.
#5 The A’s will take Monday Memorial Day off and open a road trip against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday at 3:40pm PT. The A’ starting pitcher Mitch Spence (3-2, ERA 4.09) and the Rays will be going with RHP Zack Littell (2-2, ERA 3.42).
