Astros Win, 7-3, at Oakland
Houston beat Oakland on the strength of starter Gerrit Cole's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 7-3. Cole picked up the win for Houston, going 6.2 innings. He gave up 1 run on 6 hits. He now sports a record of 1-1. The win puts Houston at 3-3.

It could have been a different outcome for Houston, had it not been for Neil Walker, the 34-year old second baseman . Walker contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the first inning to put Houston up, 1-0.

Cole told a Houston Citizen reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
