The Houston Astros finished last night’s 7-2 loss in Detroit without their best starting pitcher and top hitter. Right-hander Bud Norris left his start with back spasms after five innings and 71 pitches. The Astros also lost standout second baseman Jose Altuve (al-TOO’-vay) to a jaw injury earlier in the game.
Yoenis Cespedes and Brandon Moss hit consecutive home runs in the third inning, A.J. Griffin matched his season high with eight strikeouts and the Oakland Athletics beat the Texas Rangers 5-1 on Monday night. It was Texas’ first trip to Oakland since being swept in the final three games of the 2012 regular season and coughing up the AL West title to the surprising A’s.
