Astros Drop Athletics, 11-8
Getting offensive support from Francisco Alvarez, the Houston Astros topped the Oakland Athletics, 11-8. Alvarez went 2 for 5 with 2 home runs for the Astros. The win for the Astros raised their record to 70-65.

Taylor Trammell had a big 3-run home run for the Astros in the top of the second inning. With Houston leading 3-0 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he sized up a slider from 26-year old right-handed pitcher Gunnar Hoglund and punished it. The result was his 21st home run of the season, which put the Astros on top, 6-0.

"When this team comes together and plays the way we can, we can compete with anyone," said Trammell. "I think we're going to keep proving that."
