Astros Stymie Oakland, Take 5-1 Win
Houston got an elite performance from starting pitcher Daniel Mengden in taking a 5-1 decision over the Oakland Athletics. Mengden, now 2-4, was the winner. In 7 innings, he gave up 2 hits, while striking out 3, walking 2, and allowing no earned runs. With the win over Oakland, the Astros improved to 18-20.

Xander Bogaerts helped his team jump on top from the get-go. His first time up in the top of the first, he cranked a 2-run home run to give Houston a 2-0 lead.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Bogaerts said.
