Astros get pounded, lose lead without a fight.
In the bitter winter of 1777 the new born United States of America was on the very brink of annihilation. The small rump of what had been the proud Patriot army under George Washington was all but destroyed, and with its defeat would go the hopes and dreams of a virgin nation that represented a new birth of freedom. A great ideal in human history would die stillborn.
This army suffered military defeats before a much superior military force over...
The reeling Astros have some company atop the American League West standings. The A's, who trailed the Astros by 12 games on June 18, forged a first-place tie behind seven dominant innings by Trevor Cahill to send Houston to its seventh loss in eight games, 7-1, on Saturday afternoon at Oakland Coliseum.
With All-Star second baseman Jose Altuve set to begin a Minor League rehab assignment Sunday for Triple-A Fresno, manager AJ Hinch said the team's best hitter could return to the Astros' lineup as early as next week in Seattle.
The Astros and A’s vie for first place in the AL West.
The Astros lost a tough one last night in extra innings to the A’s, in part due to a controversial call in the ninth inning. The A’s would walk it off in the tenth, and in so doing pull to within one game of the AL West lead. If they win today the AL West will be tied between the two teams playing today, with the A’s hoping to take sole possession tomorrow with a series sweep.

It’s getting harder and harder to dismiss the Oakland A’s as some kind of fluke. If there’s anyone before tonight who thought they were, if they still do they’re just as dense as a rock, or more homer than Simpson.
