Game Preview

Just because the schedule over the coming two weeks aligned perfectly for the Houston Astros doesn’t mean there were guarantees for success. That much was apparent on Monday.

Having won 10 of 14 games behind an offense posting frequent double-digit run totals, the Astros (82-63) fell 4-0 to the cellar-dwelling Oakland Athletics in the first of nine games over the next 12 against the two worst teams in the majors: the Athletics (45-99) and Kansas City Royals (44-100).

Houston will host Oakland again on Tuesday night. The Astros averaged 11 runs per game in their previous 10 wins, a surge that propelled them to the top of the American League West.
