Houston Gets 3-1 Win
The Houston Astros topped the Oakland Athletics, 3-1, in American League action at Oakland Coliseum. The game was highlighted by the performance of Houston pitcher Shane Bieber. Jeffrey Springs notched his 24th save in 28 chances. The losing skid has reached 6 games for Oakland.

Houston used the bat of Joe Hardinger to get the win. The third baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Astros ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"Sometimes a win comes easy," Hardinger told the Houston Times. "And sometimes you have to scratch and claw."
