  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Houston Astros (63-64) 0 0 0 1 0 3 0 0 0 4 7 0

Win Goes to Athletics in Tight Contest
Starting pitcher Matt Ortiz pitched well enough to help the Oakland Athletics beat the Houston Astros, 7-4. Jesus Rivera earned his 25th save, after closing out the game. The Athletics now have a record of 62-64.

Had Carlos Marriott not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Marriott hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Athletics.

Athletics manager Jon Pearson raved about Ortiz after the game. "I thought Matt was 'lights out.'"
