Great Effort by Froyd Wasted in 7-5 Astros Loss
The Oakland Athletics weathered a fine game by Houston shortstop Josh Froyd to upend the Astros, 7-5, at Minute Maid Park. Froyd hit 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Oakland pitcher George Rubio got the win, upping his record to 1-0. Seth Bowersox got the loss. Earning his 2nd save of the year was Kyle Ehret.

Oakland needed the clutch hitting of Randy Shrewsbury to notch the win. The second baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Athletics on top, 7-5. For the game, Shrewsbury had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Shrewsbury said after the game.

Houston falls to 1-3.
