					| Astros Turn Back Oakland, 5-3 |  
					| Baseball fans saw a good contest between the Houston Astros and Oakland Athletics. 
 The Houston Astros racked up a win at Minute Maid Park, bumping off the Oakland Athletics, 5-3. Brian Lynch, who started for Houston, pitched effectively for his team. Brian Thomas, credited with the save, is now 2 for 5 in save opportunities.
 
 In the bottom of the sixth, Houston second baseman Jeremy Trump put his team on top. With two out and the bases loaded, he hit his 20th double of the year. Oakland pitcher Nick Kirk served it up. Just like that, the Astros were ahead, 3-2.
 
 "We'll kick back tonight, then get set for the next one," Trump said.
 
 The win puts Houston at 35-51.
