Athletics Earn 10-7 Win Against Astros
The Oakland Athletics beat the Houston Astros, 10-7, in 11 innings at Minute Maid Park. Josh Nightingale, in particular, was impressive. He was 3 for 5 with a triple, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. The first-place Astros now sit at 63-47.

Steve Simon came through with a big-time hit for Oakland. The right fielder smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the 11th inning to give his team the lead, 10-7. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"It was terrific getting this win," Nightingale said. "We put in a lot of work to do it."
