Josh Dugan struggled with a mystery illness before, during and after St George Illawarras rudderless defeat to Manly, but the NSW star is expected to be fit for State of Origin III.Dugan put in one of his lesser performance of the NRL season in the Dragons 36-6 loss to Manly on Monday night at Brookvale Oval as the joint ventures finals hopes were hit hard.However Dugan revealed on Tuesday he had been struggling with a stomach bug in the lead-up to the round 17 fixture and was still battling its effects during the game.I was actually pretty crook during the day and I dont know if anyone saw or not but I spewed about four times on the field as well, Dugan said.I am a little bit run down today but I will be right.I dont know what it was just a bug I think. I was spewing all day yesterday and into the game as well, it was probably just one of those 24 hour things.Dugan was more upset about the lacklustre loss to the Sea Eagles.I am a bit sore, but I think if you dont pull up sore this time of year you are not playing the right game, he said.It was disappointing from us last night, definitely not up to the standard we have set ourselves over the last six weeks.It is very disappointing losing going into the bye because we knew how important that win last night could have been.It is not easy for me to come in here (into camp) and forget about it. It isnt great but we have a job to do here.After missing the first two Origin matches due to an elbow injury, Dugan was happy to return to the Blues camp in Coffs Harbour.It was disappointing and devastating to be at home watching but I am just glad to be back, he said.I have had two games back. The elbow is feeling fine and hopefully I have got a bit of match fitness going into Wednesday. Fake Nike Air Max 270 .

HOUSTON -- Things looked good for the Houston Astros early Thursday night after a leadoff triple by George Springer.Unfortunately they couldnt do much after that in a 3-1 loss to the Oakland Athletics when they struck out 13 times.Yonder Alonso doubled and drove in two runs and Rich Hill tied a season-high with 10 strikeouts in six solid innings to give the Athletics the win.Springer extended his hitting streak to eight games with his triple that landed on Tals Hill in center field. Houston took a 1-0 lead when he scored on a groundout by Marwin Gonzalez.And then they completely shut us down, manager A.J. Hinch said. It wasnt our night offensively, and a lot of thats got to do with how they pitched us.Hill (9-3) allowed three hits and one run to extend his winning streak to six games in his second start since coming off the disabled list on Saturday. Ryan Madson pitched a perfect ninth for his 17th save.The Athletics trailed by one in the second when Danny Valencia and Khris Davis singled before Stephen Vogt drew a walk to load the bases with no outs.Oakland tied it when Marcus Semien grounded into a double play that allowed Valencia to score.Alonso followed with his double to put Oakland up 2-1. He gave the Athletics an insurance run with an infield RBI single with two outs in the ninth.Houstons Doug Fister (8-6) yielded three hits and two runs in eight innings for his third straight loss after winning his previous seven decisions.I felt like I made some good pitches, Fister said. They kind of got through the holes and a couple guys drove the ball a few times, but its one of those things youve got to build upon.Luis Valbuena singled with one out in the second before Hill settled in, retiring the next 10. Houston didnt have another baserunner until a single by Jake Marisnick with two outs in the fifth inning. Hill struck out Jasson Castro to end that inning before striking out three with two walks in the sixth to end his night.ddddddddddddHinch said Hill kept Houston off-balance by mixing his pitches well.Early, it was all about the breaking ball. Late, it was all about his fastball, he said. So he changed his game plan a little bit back and forth and we had no way to solve it. He had a little bit of everything working. Regardless of our tendency to strike out, Rich Hill did a really good job.Josh Reddick reached on an error by shortstop Carlos Correa to start the ninth before Houston intentionally walked Vogt with two outs. Semien drew a walk after that to load the bases before Alonsos fly ball dropped in front of Correa to allow Reddick to score.COCOS APOLOGYCoco Crisp was ejected after tossing his bat in the direction of home plate umpire D.J. Reyburn after striking out for the third out of the fifth inning. After the game, Crisp apologized for his behavior and said he didnt mean for the bat to end up so close to Reyburn.I want to apologize for getting too close to him, Crisp said. That was pretty bad. Just also to let him know that I didnt want it to come out where it was going to hit him.Crisp went 0 for 3 to snap a 12-game hitting streak, which was the longest active streak in the majors.UP NEXTAthletics: Daniel Mengden (1-4, 3.48) will start for Oakland on Friday. The rookie, who has 31 strikeouts combined in his first five career starts, looks to bounce back after allowing seven hits and four runs in 5 1/3 innings of a 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday.Astros: Collin McHugh (5-6, 4.50) is scheduled to start for Houston on Friday.
