Big Game from Polanco Not Enough, Astros Lose
Despite a fine performance by center fielder Gregory Polanco, the Houston Astros suffered a 9-8 loss to the Oakland Athletics. Polanco went 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3. Michael Feliz finished to wrap up his 3rd save. The 4th-place Athletics are now 14-23, the Astros 18-21.

The Athletics got a big at-bat from right fielder Herschel Powell. For the game, Powell went 2-4 with 2 singles. In the bottom of the seventh, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a run-scoring single. His 13th hit of the season gave Oakland a 9-8 lead.

"We'll enjoy this win," said Powell. "But there's more we hope to accomplish."
