Oakland right fielder Joel Kunkler contributed to his team's 7-5 win over the Houston Astros. Kunkler, who finished 3rd in the AL in slugging percentage with .635 in 2041, went 2 for 4 with 2 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Athletics. Mike Pedigo was credited with the save for Oakland, his 2nd of the season. The win puts Oakland at 3-1.

Kunkler contributed a big hit, a grand slam home run, for Oakland in the bottom of the fifth. With his team trailing 5-3, Kunkler took a curveball from Brian Lynch and stroked the home run to right. His 1st home run of the season allowed the Athletics to leap in front, 7-5.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Kunkler.
