HOUSTON - Oakland’s kids keep providing big moments and Tuesday at Minute Maid Park took on the toughest task in the majors, particularly for the A’s.
Powered by Ryon Healy’s first career grand slam, Oakland staved off a late Astros rally and downed Houston 6-4, the A’s fourth win in a row overall but just the second time they’ve have defeated the Astros in their past 16 meetings. Houston, which swept four games from the A’s in Oakland last week, entered the day with baseball’s best record.
“Special to start off a series like that with a win, especially in their yard,” Healy said.
