OAKLAND, Calif. -- Houston's Josh Reddick has seen enough walkoff Oakland wins from his time with the Athletics that he knows no lead is necessarily safe.
Even after his go-ahead double in the ninth inning Friday night.
Jed Lowrie singled home the winning run in the bottom half of the inning after Boog Powell's tying home run, and the A's snapped the AL West-leading Astros' seven-game winning streak with a 9-8 victory.
"It's a frustrating loss for us, that's really one way to describe it," Reddick said. "Put up nine runs but those guys just hung around, had big hits in the right spot and that's what you got to do to win the game.
