Athletics Deal Astros 7-6 Defeat
The Oakland Athletics beat the Houston Astros, 7-6, in part because of catcher Mike Blair. He was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Kyle Ehret earned the save for Oakland, his 1st of the year. The loss has the Astros at 1-1.

Oakland used the bat of Ryan Kinkead to capture the win. The first baseman jacked a grand slam home run in the top of the third inning to put the Athletics ahead, 5-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a dandy.

"I'm trying to keep it simple," said Kinkead. "Just do my job."
