Athletics News
The Athletics were steamrolled by the Houston Astros in a disheartening 13-2 loss, showcasing just how far the team has fallen as they struggle to find their footing in the division. Kade Morris's Major League debut turned into a nightmare, as he surrendered nine runs in just over four innings, leaving fans questioning the pitching depth on a team already grappling with injuries. Meanwhile, the front office has been busy as they traded right-hander Joel Kuhnel to the Brewers, a sign of a roster in flux. With a record now at 30-34, the A’s have a tough road ahead if they hope to turn around their season and stay competitive in a division where every game counts.
