Summary
The Astros ended an embarrassing homestand with their worst loss of the season — blowing a six-run lead against the lowly A's, who entered play with the worst record in baseball. Tyler Stafford and The Athletic's Chandler Rome discuss Houston's horrific 3-6 homestand, the ramifications on its playoff pursuit, what can be fixed to get things on the right track and how Joe Espada's absence accentuated that this isn't a managerial issue.
