Astros Scratch and Claw to 6-5 Win
The Oakland Athletics got a sterling performance from pitcher Lefty Grove, but the Houston Astros still prevailed, 6-5. Grove threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball. The save was Larry Andersen's, his 33rd. With the victory, the Astros upped their record to 74-69.

Carlos Correa came through with a big-time hit for Houston. The pinch hitter smacked a grand slam home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 6-4. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"It's the best feeling when you come through for your teammates," said Correa.
