Athletics Shut Out Astros 4-0 in Oakland

In a dominant performance, Hogan Harris led the Oakland Athletics to a 4-0 victory over the Houston Astros, marking his first win since June 18. Harris pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing seven hits while striking out a career-high seven batters, supported by a solid defense that turned three double plays. The A's offense was ignited in the third inning with consecutive RBI doubles from Miguel Andujar and JJ Bleday, giving Oakland a 3-0 lead. Max Schuemann added another run in the fourth, contributing to the team's overall strong performance. Despite the loss, the Astros remain tied for first place in the AL West, with notable performances from Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez. This game was particularly significant as it featured two former Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns pitchers, marking the first matchup of its kind in MLB history.
