Today in Baseball History:
- 1997 — In Oakland, Mark McGwire hits his 33rd and 34th homers to lead the A’s to an 11 - 3 win over the hapless Royals. Jose Canseco strikes out in all five at-bats for the Athletics, tying an Oakland record. Combined with his three strikeouts on Monday, he ties a major league record with eight whiffs in two consecutive games.
- 2017 — The Nationals move to address the team’s main area of concern - the bullpen - by sending P Blake Treinen and prospects Sheldon Neuse and Jesus Luzardo to the Athletics in return for two relievers with proven track records, Ryan Madson and Sean Doolittle.

11 head-to-head match-ups between the A's and Astros remain, 8 in Houston and 3 in Oakland. Could be a battle.
