Athletics look to end losing streak in game against the Astros
- On Sunday, the Athletics look to end a three-game losing streak against the Houston Astros , with Athletics pitcher Gage Jump facing Astros starter Mike Burrows at 2:10 p.m. EDT.
- Following Saturday's loss, Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez hit a grand slam against Athletics starting pitcher Kade Morris, and the Astros hold a 3-2 advantage in the season series.
- Offensively, Athletics third baseman Zack Gelof is on an 11-game hitting streak, while catcher Shea Langeliers leads the team with a.283 batting average, 16 home runs, and 33 RBIs.
- A loss on Sunday would drop the Athletics to five-games under.500 and potentially 4.5 games from first place in the AL West, risking a drop to fourth in the division.
- To stop the losing streak, the Athletics must provide run support for Jump and neutralize Alvarez, while observers suggest moving Gelof higher in the lineup to create scoring opportunities behind Langeliers, Nick Kurtz, and Tyler Soderstrom.
