Astros 5-2 Winners Versus Oakland
Houston pitcher Mike Cunningham did his part in helping his team defeat the Oakland Athletics, 5-2. The opposition could never get too much going against the right-hander. Cunningham, now 2-6, was the winner. In 5 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 4, walking 2, and allowing 2 runs. The save went to José Morán, number 1 for him.

Claude Spears dealt the Athletics a blow in the top of the sixth. Batting with runners on 2nd and 3rd and Houston leading 3-2, Spears, who is a two-time Gold Glove Award winner, hit a first pitch fastball for a 2-run single.

"I know we have our doubters," said Oakland manager Bob Melvin. "But I still have high hopes for this team."

The Astros go to 30-44 with the win.
