4-1 Win Sends Houston to 8-5
The Houston Astros beat the Oakland Athletics, 4-1, at Minute Maid Park. Starting pitcher Andy Porter was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. Losses have been few and far between for the Athletics, now 6-1.

The Astros got a big hit from designated hitter Jose Altuve. Facing Oakland pitcher Eddie Plank in the bottom of the fifth, Altuve pounded a run-scoring triple to left-center. His 1st triple of the season put the Astros ahead, 3-1.

"Nice to tuck this win away," said Altuve.
