The Athletics go for their second straight win on Sunday afternoon when they play the rival Astros

The Athletics visit the Houston Astros in the rubber match of their three-game series. The Athletics lost the first game of the series on Friday night, but snapped a five-game losing streak to even the series on Saturday. The Athletics scored three runs in the top of the eighth to erase a two-run deficit and get the win. The victory pushed their record to 50-80 on the season, but they still sit in last place in the AL West. They sit two games back of the Los Angeles Angels for fourth place. On Sunday, the Athletics will send Brady Basso to the mound to start in the final game of the series. Basso will likely be used as a starter, as the A’s will use the bullpen on Sunday.
