Astros Fall Short at Oakland, 2-1
The Athletics earned a hard-fought, 2-1 win in 10 innings at O.co Coliseum. To do so required withstanding a fine effort from Houston pitcher Greg Connolly. Connolly went 7 innings and allowed 1 run. Oakland reliever Gabriel Ynoa picked up the win, upping his record to 2-1. Jesús Mejía was saddled with the loss. The win puts the Athletics at 32-42, while the Astros drop to 29-43.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when Oakland right fielder Brandon Nimmo, facing Jesús Mejía, had a run-scoring ground out. It gave the Athletics the 2-1 win.

"That was fun, that was just good baseball," said Nimmo.
