Springer’s 6-hit night, 462-foot HR leads romp

George Springer drilled the second pitch of the game thrown by A’s starter Brett Anderson on Monday night and shot it inside the third-base line for a leadoff double. The fun was only getting started. Springer spearheaded the Astros’ biggest offensive outburst of the season, tying a franchise record by going 6-for-6, including a three-run homer, to back a strong outing from starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel and send Houston to a 16-2 win over the A’s at Oakland Coliseum.
