Somehow, the Oakland Athletics have tied up the Houston Astros, and on Sunday they have a chance to take the American League West lead going up against Justin Verlander.
Let’s just say, the unbelievable hot streak this team is on right now did not hit a cold front. In the first inning, Matt Chapman and Khris Davis both hit solo shots to give the A’s a 2-0 lead.

The A’s have the one of the most potent lineups in the league right now, and they showed off their stuff in a huge way to get this pivotal game started with a bang.
