Astros Take Down Athletics, 2-0
The Oakland Athletics wasted an impressive 7-inning effort from starter David Saldana, falling 2-0 to the Houston Astros at O.co Coliseum. Reliever Dylan Scott picked up the win. His record improves to 2-0. Dana Joseph took the loss. Picking up the save was Guillermo Padron, his 13th.

Houston used a clutch hit from Matt Carocci to get the win. The first baseman drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Astros ahead, 2-0. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a doozy.

"Exciting game to play in," said Carocci. "Getting the win makes it even better."

Houston is now 24-16, Oakland 17-22.
