					| Oakland Dealt 5-3 Defeat |  
					| Houston and Oakland duked it out and the Astros came out victorious. 
 The Oakland Athletics got a superb performance from pitcher Joey Wright, but the Houston Astros still won the game, 5-3. Wright threw 5.2 innings of 3-hit ball. Darryl Shirey earned his 33rd save in 38 chances.
 
 Had Billy Mejia not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Mejia hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Astros.
 
 "Win or lose, we always try to grind it out and stay even-keeled," Mejia said in reaction to the win.
 
 Houston is now 65-93, while Oakland is 76-81.
