Athletics Come Up Short at Houston, 2-1
A good time was had by all at Minute Maid Park, where the Oakland Athletics and Houston Astros tangled.

Houston starter Brusdar Graterol put a stranglehold on the Oakland offense. The right-hander had complete command of his slider in leading the Astros to a 2-1 win. Trevor Bettencourt picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 1-0. Ty Buttrey was tagged with the loss. Tyler Duffey was credited with the save for Houston, his 9th of the season.

Manuel Margot went 1 for 2 for Houston. The 25-year old left fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the seventh. With no one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Ty Buttrey. It was his 15th RBI of the season.

"It was a solid team effort," said Margot after the game.

The Astros bumped their record to 28-28 with this win.
