Astros Bang Out 8-2 Win Versus Oakland
In the 8-2 Houston win over Oakland, the impact of Colton Cowser was substantial. Cowser, who finished 5th in the AL in runs with 103 last year, went 3-5 with a home run and a double, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Houston leads the American League West Division by 4½ games.

Houston used the bat of Jordan Walker to get the win. The designated hitter hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Astros ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it did its damage.

Cowser said his team "played with focus."
