Down to Defeat Go Astros, 12-5
The Oakland Athletics knocked off the Houston Astros, 12-5, at O.co Coliseum. Al Simmons was a big reason Oakland won. The right fielder went 4 for 5 with a double and 3 singles. He scored 2 runs. Rube Waddell went 6.2 innings for Oakland to pick up the win. The left-hander was charged with 4 runs. He scattered 8 hits, while walking 0 and striking out 10. His record improves to 11-11. With the victory, the Athletics record stands at 80-60.

Oakland went up, 8-4, on Mickey Cochrane's 20th double of the season. The bases-clearing double, which Cochrane hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Houston pitcher Frank DiPino feeling deflated.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Simmons.
