Shea Langeliers and Tony Kemp both homered as the Oakland Athletics jumped on Justin Verlander early in a 6-2 win over the Houston Astros.
Oakland Athletics' Zack Gelof scores as Houston Astros catcher Martin Maldonado waits for the throw during the third inning of a baseball game Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2023, in Houston. “Our mentality is just go out there and win and ruin as many seasons as we can,” Oakland outfielder Tony Kemp said. “Because we’re not going to be playing in October.”
“You ain't got no choice, you've just got to keep fighting,” Houston manager Dusty Baker said. “That's what this game is all about and that's what this team is all about.” “We talked about trying to make a statement that we’ve obviously got a lot more competitive since the beginning of the year,” manager Mark Kotsay said. “And we knew that we had 18 divisional games in front of us. And this was a part of our stretch that we wanted to go out and compete and win baseball games in our division. And also you kind of use this as a test to see where we’re at going forward for next year.
A night after getting shut out 4-0, the Astros again had trouble stringing hits together. Houston, which scored 39 runs in a three-game sweep at Texas last week, went 1 for 7 with runners in scoring position Tuesday against the lowly A’s.
