					| Athletics Prevail, 4-2, Over Houston |  
					| Oakland turned a good effort from starter Mike Torres into a win over the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. The final score was 4-2. Oakland pitcher Mike Chapman got the win. He's now 1-1. Jordan Ruiz was tagged with the loss. The loss drops the Astros to 8-10. 
 Oakland used the clutch hitting of Justin McQuarter to capture the win. The third baseman drilled a 2-run  double in the top of the ninth inning to give the Athletics the lead, 4-2. For the game, McQuarter had 1 single and 1 double in 4 at-bats.
 
 "Enjoyed this one," McQuarter told the Oakland Times. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
