Yordan Alvarez’s eighth-inning home run sends Oakland to its 11th loss in 13 games.
HOUSTON, TEXAS – MAY 20: JP Sears #38 of the Oakland Athletics pitches in the first inning against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park on May 20, 2023 in Houston, Texas. HOUSTON — With the A’s on pace to finish with the second-most losses in major league history, they’ll take any kind of victory they can these days. Even if it happens during another defeat.
The loss was Oakland’s 11th in its last 13 games and leaves the A’s at a major league-worst 10-37. They’re on a pace to finish 34-127. “Obviously I’m not happy with how the game started,” Sears said. “I settled in felt like I located my fastball the last five innings and kept guys off the slider a little bit.
“You love to see that in a young starter,” Kotsay said. “He battled through that first inning and kept his composure and went out and gave his team a chance to win.” Jose Altuve doubled in a two-run first inning for Houston for his first hit of the year after going 0 for 4 in his season debut Friday night. Altuve missed the first 43 games after fracturing his right thumb in the World Baseball Classic.
