The Houston Astros beat the Oakland Athletics at Minute Maid Park. The final score was 12-4, in favor of Houston. Kyle Tucker led the way, going 3-for-4 for the home team. The Athletics fall to 10-13 and continue their uninspiring start to the 2014 season.

Though it wasn't a flawless game -- few are -- the fans who filled the stands at Minute Maid Park seemed to enjoy watching the American League action.

"Bad day," Oakland manager said. "New day tomorrow."
