Athletics Nip Astros, 7-6
In a tight contest at Minute Maid Park, the Oakland Athletics edged the Houston Astros by the score of 7-6. Oakland shortstop Justin Dunsmore, who blasted 1 home run, was a key contributor. Mike O'Donovan, now 3-0, was credited with the win in 1.1 innings of relief. He allowed 2 runs on 4 hits, while striking out 0 and walking 0. Nick Rodriquez, who finished 2nd in the AL in saves with 46 in 2107, earned the save for Oakland.

Dunsmore had a game-changing home run in the top of the ninth. On a 1-1 sinker from Jeff Hank, he banged a 3-run home run to right-center, giving the Athletics a 7-6 lead. It was the 2nd home run of the year for Dunsmore.

"I felt good up there," said Dunsmore. "I saw the ball well."

With the loss, Houston is 11-13.
