Athletics Win, 4-3, at Houston
The Oakland Athletics beat the Houston Astros, 4-3, at Minute Maid Park. The win was due in part to third baseman Edwin Madrid, who was 3 for 3 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Oakland pitcher Jalen Cobbins got the win, upping his record to 5-5. Mat Pear got the loss. Mike Pedigo picked up the save for Oakland, his 27th of the year.

With Oakland leading 1-0 in the top of the fourth, Madrid hit a fastball from Mat Pear for a 3-run home run. It was his 27th home run of the season and put the Athletics ahead, 4-0.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Madrid.

Oakland improves to 87-75 with the win. They lead their division by 3½ games.
