Athletics Earn 4-3 Win Versus Astros
|
The Oakland Athletics faced a tough opponent in Houston pitcher Bill Black, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Minute Maid Park by a final score of 4-3. Black went 6.1 innings and allowed 1 run. Jim Helms snagged the win in relief. In 2.1 innings, the right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit. He's now 2-1 on the season. At 28-20, the Athletics find themselves in third place in the American League West.
Oakland used the timely hitting of Gregg Faustini to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Athletics on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.
"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said Oakland manager Joe Girardi.
