Astros Get Win, Extend Streak to 4
The Houston Astros topped the Oakland Athletics by the score of 5-1, with the biggest share of the credit going to catcher Welington Castillo. Castillo was 2-3 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Astros on the day. The win was credited to Tony Zych in relief. His record improves to 2-1. Zach Davies took the loss. The Athletics, now 7-20, continue their slow start.

A crucial at-bat came with a runner on 1st and no one out in the bottom of the seventh inning. That's when first baseman Dominic Smith hit a single. The Astros went on to win.

"I thought we played a nice game," Smith told the Houston Chronicle. "Good pitching, timely hitting, it was all there."
