Astros Pull Out Late Win, 3-2
In a tight tilt between the Houston Astros and the Oakland Athletics, Jacob deGrom was the deciding factor. The Houston right-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. The loss makes Oakland 69-53.

The decisive blow was delivered by Joey Ortiz in the bottom of the tenth when he hit a solo home run off 32-year old right-handed pitcher Robert Stephenson to win the game for Houston. The home crowd went nuts.

"Jacob set the tone with his ability to attack the hitters," said Houston manager Logan F.
