Its Thursday, July 24 and the Athletics (42-62) are in Houston to begin a series against the Astros (60-42). Luis Severino is slated to take the mound for Oakland against Jason Alexander for Houston.

The right-hander gave the bullpen a bit of a breather by fighting threw six innings, but A’s hitters battered him for 11 hits and five runs. He relied mostly on his changeup and sinker, throwing them a combined 69 times. The sinker drew 21 swings with only one whiff.

Alexander, 40, was busted outside Spears’ home in Thousand Oaks, Calif. after he live-streamed the break-in on the day his former beau wed Sam Asghari in her backyard.
