Athletics News
In a disheartening display, the Athletics were blown out by the Houston Astros, falling 13-2, continuing their trend of lopsided losses this season. With a league-worst pitching staff, it’s no surprise that they couldn't keep the powerful Astros at bay, highlighted by Yordan Alvarez's 42nd homer and Jeremy Pena's monster game of two homers and four RBI. Jack Perkins, who showed flashes of potential, faced the daunting task of containing the Astros’ lineup and fell short once again, finishing the season with a tough 3-12 record. As the A’s prepare for the final game of a disappointing year at 64-96, the injuries and pitching struggles have overshadowed any early-season competitiveness. The end of this season raises urgent questions about the team’s direction and depth, especially as they look ahead to an offseason filled with tough decisions.
