Athletics Take Down Astros, 3-2
The Oakland Athletics had to overcome a fine performance from Houston pitcher Gavin Stone to grab a 3-2 win at Minute Maid Park. Stone allowed 1 run over 6.1 innings. The loss makes Houston 8-7.

Oakland used a timely hit from Nolan Arenado to get the win. The shortstop stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Athletics ahead, 3-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Arenado.
