Oakland Upended by Houston, 2-1
Houston starter Mike Cunningham put the Oakland offense in a vise grip. The right-hander relied heavily on his cutter in leading the Astros to a 2-1 win. Cunningham got the win, improving to 4-10. He gave up 5 hits and walked 3 over 6 innings. He allowed 1 run. Bob Ramsey closed it out for Houston, earning his 12th save.

Houston used a timely hit from Steve McGuire to get the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Astros ahead, 2-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"You have to win 1-0, 3-2, 2-1 games if you want to get to where you want to go," said Astros manager Mike Napoli.

The win has Houston at 34-50.
