OAKLAND -- The Astros won their ninth straight game played at the Coliseum on Wednesday night, using a sixth-inning rally and a strong start from right-hander Mike Fiers to beat the A's, 5-1.
Fiers pitched six scoreless innings, before allowing a run without recording an out in the seventh. He allowed three hits and three walks, struck out five and induced three double plays. The righty won for the fourth time in five starts, and has only allowed two earned runs in his last 20 1/3 innings.
The Astros scored three in the sixth on a two-run single from Evan Gattis and an RBI single by Jake Marisnick.
