Astros Rally Late to Nip Athletics
The Houston Astros eked out a 3-2 win versus the Oakland Athletics at Minute Maid Park. Nobody did more than pitcher Humberto Garza. He was terrific. Houston reliever Ryan Mathiesen picked up the win, upping his record to 4-4. Kolby Allard was saddled with the loss. The 4th-place Astros lifted their record to 53-94.

Nick Montgomery was the walk-off hero for Houston. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Astros pinch hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"We put some tough at-bats on some tough pitches," said Houston manager Pedro Moncion.
