Astros Come Back Late to Clip Athletics
Willie Valiente left his imprint on the 4-3 Houston win against the Oakland Athletics. Valiente, who finished 2nd in the AL in home runs with 45 in 2101, belted 3 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring three times. The losing streak for Oakland has now reached 4 games.

The game was decided with two out in the bottom of the ninth. With Houston trailing 3-2, Valiente jumped on a sinker from two-time All-Star Nick Rodriquez and hit a 2-run home run to right. With one swing, the Astros had a walk-off win.

"Chalk one up for the good guys," said Valiente. "I'm sure our fans enjoyed that win."
