Houston Decked by McCann, Athletics
The Oakland Athletics knocked off the Houston Astros, 9-2, at Oakland Coliseum. James McCann, who captured player of the game honors, was a big reason Oakland won. The catcher went 4-4 with 2 home runs and a double. He scored 3 runs and drove in 4. With the win, the Athletics improved to 48-75.

The Athletics got a big at-bat from center fielder Herschel Powell. For the game, Powell went 1 for 5 with a double, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the first, with the bases loaded, he stroked a bases-clearing double. His 14th double of the season gave Oakland a 3-0 lead.

"I felt we were ready to go," said Oakland manager Tim Scholl. "Our pregame was pretty good."
