Late Rally by Astros Seals 7th Straight Win
The Houston Astros extended their winning streak.

Houston Astros starter Justin Verlander was in fine form against the Oakland Athletics at Minute Maid Park, leading his team to a win, 5-3. The first-place Astros have won 7 straight games.

Had Martin Maldonado not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Maldonado hit a 2-run single. That made the score 5-3, in favor of the Astros.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said Houston manager Al Melchior.
