OAKLAND, Calif. -- As happy as AJ Hinch has been with the top of his lineup, the Astros' manager has been equally pleased with the production from the bottom half of the order, too.
Then again, the way Houston's offense has been going lately it doesn't seem to matter who is batting or where.
George Springer kept up his hitting surge with two hits and two RBI, Alex Bregman homered and the Astros beat the Oakland Athletics 4-2 on Tuesday night.
Houston scored its final three runs with a big boost from the final four hitters.
