OAKLAND -- Chad Pinder homered in both the seventh and eighth innings to lead the A's to an 11-4 win and a doubleheader sweep of the Astros on Saturday at the Coliseum.

After the Astros took the lead in the top of the seventh on a George Springer sac fly, Franklin Barreto hit a one-out triple to right and scored on a Boog Powell sac fly to tie the game. Pinder came up and crushed a slider from Chris Devenski to left-center to give the A's the lead.
