Match report
The Astros beat the Athletics 13-2 in a regular-season MLB match on September 27, 2026. It was a heavy defeat for the home side, and the visitors made no mistake in capitalising on the opportunity.
Both teams had been trading results in their recent meetings. The hosts won one and lost one against Houston over the weekend, before picking up two victories against the Angels. To be fair, the Astros were less consistent: they dropped two of their last five, including a loss to the Mariners on September 24.
And here's the thing — the forecast had tipped the visitors at 57 per cent confidence. The result confirmed that reading, though the margin was wider than most would have expected. The Astros did not travel to make up the numbers; they came to win.
By then, the gap between the sides was clear. The hosts had shown flashes of aggression against the Angels, scoring nine in one game, but they could not sustain that against a Houston side that knew what it wanted.
The scoreline tells the story. The Athletics managed two runs while the Astros found the board thirteen times. It was not a close game, and neither side should pretend otherwise.
