Astros Score Late, Clip Athletics, 3-2
The Houston Astros had to overcome a fine effort from Oakland pitcher Yusei Kikuchi to win, 3-2, at Oakland Coliseum. Kikuchi went 6.1 innings and allowed no runs. Andrew Kittredge earned the save for Houston. The win puts Houston at 41-27 this season.

Houston used the timely hitting of Ha-seong Kim to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Astros on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Our team showed some gumption," said Kim. "I like it."
