| | | OAKLAND: OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Before the season has even begun, the Oakland Athletics are dealing with a devastating injury that could affect their chances of chasing a third straight AL West title.
Right-hander Jarrod Parker, who had been the projected opening day starter, was lost to a season-ending elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery - his second such procedure.
Like every year with this low-budget club, somebody always seems to step in and fill the void. Whether that will be enough for Bob Melvin's bunch in a much-improved division is to be determined.
Even before Parker went down, Oakland considered its club an underdog despite winning the last two AL West crowns.
| | HOUSTON: HOUSTON (AP) - Coming off three straight 100-loss seasons, the Houston Astros are confident they'll be better this year.
How much? They aren't putting a number on that. But after setting a franchise record with a whopping 111 defeats, they have a simple target.
''It's our goal to be the most improved team in major league baseball (and) I believe ... we have the group together and we can actually accomplish that,'' second-year manager Bo Porter said.
There are several reasons why the Astros are certain they can improve. They brought in several established players this offseason to pair with the many young players who got their first significant playing time last season. They also could get some reinforcements soon from top prospects who are inching closer to being major league ready.
General manager Jeff Luhnow's rebuilding plan has already boosted Houston's minor league system from the worst in baseball to one of the best. He expects that work to start paying dividends this season in the majors.
''We have a young team. We're still going to make some mistakes,'' he said. ''Our young players have improved but still need some development. We brought in some veterans to help stabilize the team this year. We're going to see a big improvement as a result of those two dynamics.''

*Athletics-Astros Preview* ==========================
By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer
Oakland (13-7) at Houston (7-14), 8:10 p.m. EDT
Mired in their first losing streak, the Oakland Athletics will try to get back on track with another dominant performance against the Houston Astros.
The A's swept the Astros this past weekend and will try to extend their win streak in the series to seven while earning their 11th victory in 13 all-time games in Houston on Thursday night.
Oakland (13-8) was off to its best start since 1990 before a three-game sweep this week against a red-hot Texas team. The A's had just two singles and Josh Donaldson's double in a 3-0 loss in Wednesday's finale.
"They just beat us," manager Bob Melvin said. "Not much you can say about that. They played better than we did and deserved to win. We just have to put it past us and get on the road and get a win under our belt and start rolling again."
Oakland will try to turn it around after they cruised through a sweep of the Astros, who were outscored 19-7 over the three games and fell to 5-23 in the all-time series.
The A's went 8-1 in Houston last season. The Astros (7-15) have the AL's worst home record at 3-7 and have dropped their last four there. They're returning to Minute Maid Park, however, after coming within two outs of three-game sweep at Seattle and their longest win streak of the season.
Houston led the Mariners by one run entering the ninth but Josh Fields gave up a three-run homer to Kyle Seager in a 5-3 loss.
"The most demoralizing loss in baseball is a late-inning loss, when you have the game won," Houston manager Bo Porter said. "Since I've been here we've had our share of them."
Brett Oberholtzer will try to help his club bounce back with another strong outing. He's given up one run in each of his last two games, including one in Oakland on Saturday, but remains winless.
Oberholtzer (0-3, 3.04 ERA) shook off an illness and helped Houston to a 3-1 lead after six innings against the A's, but Chad Qualls gave up three runs in the ninth in a 4-3 defeat.
Oberholtzer, 0-1 with a 1.54 ERA in two career starts versus Oakland, will again pitch opposite Scott Kazmir (2-0, 1.65).
The A's left-hander was in line for a loss Saturday after giving up three runs in a season-high eight innings, but he was bailed out by Jed Lowrie, Alberto Callaspo and Josh Reddick, who singled home the winning run. Kazmir has pitched eight frames twice since the beginning of the 2009 season.
"It's great, early in the year, to be going deep in the games and still have quality pitches from my first pitch to my last pitch," he told the team's website. "It's huge."
Kazmir is 1-0 with a 1.20 ERA in his two starts against the Astros since a difficult outing in his only game in Houston on April 20, 2013, while pitching for Cleveland. He was tagged for six runs and eight hits over 3 1-3 innings but avoided the loss because the Indians produced a 19-6 rout.
