HOUSTON (AP) — Jose Altuve hit a three-run homer and Kyle Tucker’s tiebreaking solo shot in the seventh inning lifted the Houston Astros to a 4-3 win over the Oakland Athletics. The victory is Houston’s sixth straight and moves the team to a season-high 21 games above .500. Altuve’s home run gave the Astros the lead in the third, but the A’s scored two in the sixth to tie it.
