Pinder’s grand slam helps A’s, Montas beat Astros

OAKLAND — The A’s continued their impressive play since returning from the All-Star break by beating the Houston Astros 5-3 at the Coliseum on Tuesday night, powered by a third-inning grand slam from Chad Pinder.

Oakland (37-63) is 5-2 since resuming play last Thursday and has won 11 games in July, its most wins in a month this season.

In what could be his last home game in an A’s uniform ahead of the Aug. 2 trade deadline, right-hander Franke Montas (4-9, 3.18 ERA) earned the win, going five innings, allowing seven hits and three runs (two earned).
