Behind the strong right arm of the Shark and the booming bats of the Athletics, the Astros were routed 13-1 in a matinee slaughter. This one should have ended early. The putrid pitching of Feldman and his merry band of mess makers (Zeid and Bass) were pounded by 14 hits, and they gave six free passes and a grand slam. The Astros bats could muster but six hits against the two Athletics pitchers. Chris Carter hit a home run off of the flag pole in the fourth inning for the lone Astro run. In fact, the only other good thing that I can say about this game is that the Astros made no errors.
The Game Zone was fairly light for a matinee, as the GZ denizens were as unhappy with the ball club as I was.
