Houston Bats Go Silent in 2-0 Loss
In a tight battle between the Oakland Athletics and the Houston Astros, pitcher Jordan Montgomery was in the zone. The Oakland left-hander was named the player of the game in Oakland's 2-0 win. The Astros, now 2-8, continue their poor start.

The result might have been different for Oakland, had it not been for Martin Maldonado. The catcher produced a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Athletics ahead, 1-0. For the game, Maldonado had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Jordan was pounding the zone," said Oakland manager Tim Scholl.
