The Athletics fall to 10-38 after being swept by Houston and must take solace in merely being competitive.
With a record of 10-38 and smarting from being swept for the seventh time this season following a 2-0 road loss to the Houston Astros Sunday, the Athletics are deep into the moral victory stage of a lost season.
With a strong five innings from James Kaprielian, the A’s had three above-average performances from their starters against Houston, which improved to 27-19. It was the seventh straight win for the defending World Series champions. The games were all competitive and the A’s played some sparkling defense.
The A’s did next to nothing offensively against Valdez. The first hit came when Valdez was late covering a grounder to the right side, with Jesus Aguilar getting a gift single. Aledmys Diaz hit a dunker to right for a single in the fifth, Esteury Ruiz a sleight-of-hand double in the sixth and Nick Allen a single to right in the ninth.“Vintage Framber,” Kotsay said. “A lot of ground balls. His sinker played today. I think the breaking ball is tough to pick up.
