HOUSTON – Even for the masters of the last comeback, the A's faced great difficulty on Tuesday, and they nearly did well, taking the lead in 11th place only to see Blake Treinen getting closer to him. The first time in almost three months and an unusual game make 6-5 winners of the Astros.

Treinen walked Josh Reddick to open the inning, then Kyle Tucker pushed Reddick to third with a base shot and a tapper in the middle Tony Kemp sent Reddick when receiver Jonathan Lcuroy failed to drop the label in time after Marcus Semien's return home.

"I scented it," Lucroy said. "I tried to make a quick tag, it was a one-hop, and I could not get the ball in the glove." Even though I had done it, I do not think the He had a pretty good slip. "

Alex Bregman hit a rifle out of the plate that rolled foul and then just again as Lucroy tried to coral, then As Lucroy went to score Bregman, he lost the ball and he bounced out of the marble referee David Rackley. When Lucroy picked him up and went first, his shot took a look at Bregman's helmet and Tucker came back with the winning series, ending the three-game winning streak. Oakland

"I really screwed that up." The guys fought … and I dropped them behind the plate.

The play is reviewed, because the A's thought Lucroy could have scored Bregman before the balloon left him, but the call was not canceled. jumped out of the way and the bullet came out of my hand, "said Lucroy. "It's there that we played at dodgeball for a few seconds – it was just a big mess, a big zoo behind the plate." It's the first time in eight years, Hope this is the last time. "

Treinen (5-2) had not stopped since April 18 and had not lost since the April 6. they shoved it, "said manager Bob Melvin." He was so good. It was going to end at one point, but unfortunately it ended when he did well and did what he wanted to do in situations with men on the base.

The former enemy of the A, Justin Verlander, held six innings and they remained aimless in the ninth inning. It was then that Oakland was seconded for four innings, Semien offering a tied double and a brace of play.

And in the 11th inning, Stephen Piscotty continued to do that. What he did: For the fourth consecutive game, Oakland's Right fielder completed a homer, a solo shot that pushed the A's to the front 5-4

" Incredible, "said Melvin. "Sitting there looking at him, you have a good feeling about him – he's been in this situation so many times and he's been there."

After the departure of Verlander, thanks to the 33 A balls Chris Devenski managed a seventh without scoring and Joe Smith did the same thing in the eighth before Oakland opened the ninth with consecutive singles of Ken Giles , one from Mark Canha, another from star Jed Lowrie and the third from Khris Davis, scoring Canha

Héctor Rondón succeeded Giles, and Olson struck Lowrie with a base shot on the right. Seman provided his third goal of extra-basic extra time to send the two riders.

Justin Verlander worked six scoreless innings for Houston, and didn # 39; He needed extra help, but he had border calls here and there, and when Davis was called on a swing of three control swing that seemed questionable, Melvin went out to bark at the same time. referee David Rackley, who ejected him. "There is just a level of frustration," said Melvin, mentioning a few knock calls against Dustin Fowler the previous night.

Verlander is 7-1 with a 2.04 ERA against the A in his last nine starts. , walking no one and scratching six on Tuesday. From 1965 to 1964, Sean Manaea, the starter of A, only allowed three points, but it lasted only four innings more. . Bregman broke a solo circuit, his third circuit in 16 career games against Manaea, and George Springer offered two RBI singles. Bregman added a solo tour of Emilio Pagan in seventh

Manaea left after Jose Altuve's single in fifth, and Ryan Dull, called earlier in the day, took over and pulled out the heart of the Astros order, getting Yuli Gurriel to appear, Evan Gattis to rectify and Tyler White, for the injured Marwin Gonzalez, to commit a foul.

Gonzalez left after the first; At the top of the sleeve, Dustin Fowler stung him on the left arm while trying to steal the second base. Fowler was out and Gonzalez stayed, but only by that round.

Before the match, the team sent Frankie Montas to Triple-A Nashville to continue throwing throughout the All-Star break. Trevor Cahill will come out of the DL to start on Thursday.

Montas is coming out of its best start so far; He pitched six innings without scoring against Houston, division leader, Monday, improving his record to 5-2 and reducing his BPM to 3.35. Trevor Cahill (Achilles tendon) will be out of the injury list on Thursday, pushing Edwin Jackson back in San Francisco on Friday, followed by Brett Anderson and Sean Manaea.

Melvin says Montas will go to Arizona to start a tying session. this week, he will start a match for the triple A Nashville and he will join the A on July 24 in Texas

The A will have to make a move to put Cahill on the list Thursday; With Chris Bassitt starting on Wednesday and the All-Star break on Monday, Bassitt is expected to travel to Nashville with Montas, but he too could come back after the break, potentially in a long relief.
