A’s have now lost 100 games in consecutive seasons for first time since 1964-65 while in Kansas City.
HOUSTON, TEXAS – SEPTEMBER 13: Hunter Brown #58 of the Houston Astros delivers during the first inning against the Oakland Athletics at Minute Maid Park on September 13, 2023 in Houston, Texas. HOUSTON — The A’s suffered their second consecutive 100-loss seasons since the 1960s on Wednesday. They nearly suffered another ignominious statistic – Oakland was no-hit for 9 2/3 innings by the Houston Astros.
Brown pitched six innings, Rafael Montero, Héctor Neris and Bryan Abreu followed with perfect innings each as AL West-leading Houston retired 11 straight batters. “We talk a lot about the grit, and they showed that in the ninth by taking some good at-bats and breaking through,” Oakland manager Mark Kotsay said. “Up to that point, it was a tough night. They pitched really well tonight. … To get to Pressly and get a couple runs, that shows that this group didn’t give up and shut it down and continued to fight.”Abreu, Montero and Pressly were part of Houston’s last combined no-hitter, which Cristian Javier started in Game 4 of the World Series last season.
Jordan Alvarez hit a three-run homer and Alex Bregman and Kyle Tucker had solo shots for the Astros, who maintained a one-game lead over second place Texas, with Seattle is another half-game back. Tucker’s home run was the 100th of his big league career.
