Dunsmore Helps Athletics Beat Astros, 8-2
The Oakland Athletics downed the Houston Astros, 8-2, the largest share of the credit belonging to third baseman Justin Dunsmore. On the day, Dunsmore was 3-5 with a home run and a double. He drove in 5 runs and scored once for the Athletics. Dean Thomas picked up the win, improving his season record to 5-3. He struck out 2 in 8 innings. Oakland improves to 74-53 with the win. They lead their division by 11½ games.

With Oakland leading 2-1 in the top of the fifth, Dunsmore hit a sinker from Xavier Walls for a 2-run home run. It was his 22nd home run of the season and put the Athletics ahead, 4-1.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Dunsmore.
