The unofficial first half of the regular season has been a nightmare at times for the Oakland A’s. But at least they can say it ended on a positive note.
Stephen Vogt’s RBI single in the eighth inning proved to be the game-winning hit as the A’s came back to beat the Houston Astros 4-3 on Sunday to win their first series at Minute Maid Park in over 15 months.
Vogt’s single down the right field line off Astros reliever Rafael Montero scored Chad Pinder from second base to put the A’s up by one. Relievers Zach Jackson and Lou Trivino both pitched one scoreless inning from there, as Oakland closed the six-game road trip with a 3-3 record.
