Lowe, Athletics Wallop Astros in Game 3 of DS
The Oakland Athletics have closed some of the gap between themselves and the series-leading Houston Astros, winning, 6-1, at Oakland Coliseum. Athletics left fielder Josh Lowe was 4-4 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 2 times. The win cuts the deficit facing the Athletics to 2-1 in the best-of-5 Division Series.

Jordan Westburg was 2-3 with 2 singles against the Astros. With the game tied in the bottom of the seventh inning, he hit a sacrifice fly that put Oakland in front, 2-1.

"It's nice to deliver when your team's counting on you," said Lowe.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Oakland Coliseum in Oakland.
