Athletics 4, Houston 3
Donovan Walton homered and Tommy White had three hits as Oakland scored three times in the eighth to end a five-game skid.
On Saturday night, the Athletics rallied for a 4-3 win over the Houston Astros, snapping a five-game skid behind Donovan Walton's homer and Tommy White's three hits.
Trailing 3-1, the Athletics capitalized on a wild pitch by Bennett Sousa in the eighth; Lawrence Butler singled to tie and Jonah Heim drove in the go-ahead run.
Jacob Lopez allowed one run for the Athletics in six innings, while Houston starter Hunter Brown allowed one run before being pulled in the sixth.
Umpires forced a pitching change after misinterpreting Houston manager Joe Espada's timeout request; Espada intended to speak with Brown rather than remove him from the game.
Houston RHP Cristian Javier opposes LHP Brady Basso when the series concludes on Sunday, though neither team has announced a starter for the finale.
