Oakland Upended, 4-3, by Houston
The Houston Astros topped the Oakland Athletics, 4-3, in American League action at Minute Maid Park. The game was highlighted by the performance of Houston pitcher Jacob deGrom. The winner was deGrom. He threw 5.0 innings allowing 3 runs. The loser was Michael King. The Astros lead the American League West Division by 2 games.

Houston center fielder Alek Thomas contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With two down, he hit a fastball to left field for a run-scoring single. It was his 46th hit of the season and put the Astros ahead, 4-0.

"The key at this level is throwing strike one," said deGrom. "Successful pitchers do it."
