The A’s continued to struggle offensively and fell to Houston and former Cal star Korey Lee.
OAKLAND — It was a day to remember for Houston catcher Korey Lee, but another one to forget for the Athletics.
Lee, a first-round draft pick out of Cal in 2019, had three hits and drove in three runs in a 6-1 win over the Athletics Sunday before a crowd of 10,195 at the Coliseum. They were the first hits and RBIs of his major league career. The loss denied the Athletics in a bid to win back-to-back series for the first time this season, having taken two of three from Toronto coming into the three-game set with Houston.The A’s offense was locked up by Houston starter Jake Odorizzi , who gave up four hits with a walk and seven strikeouts in seven shutout innings. It was the first time this season Odorizzi has completed seven innings. He gave way to Phil Maton in the eighth and Bryan Abreu in the ninth.
The Athletics, who had precisely four hits in each of their previous four games, got their fifth in the eighth inning when third baseman Vimael Machin hit his first major league home run. Lee got his first hit in the fifth against A’s starter and loser Cole Irvin , who pitched well with no offensive support. He added a two-run single in a three-run seventh against Austin Pruitt.Welcome to the MLB Hit Club,
