Jason Heyward hit a two-run homer early and Jon Singleton had three hits, capped by a tiebreaking RBI single in Houston’s four-run eighth inning, and the Astros got a 6-3 win over the Oakland Athletics.

Jake Meyers followed with a run-scoring double before the Athletics intentionally walked Heyward to load the bases. Mauricio Dubón singled on a ground ball to left field to score two more, pushing the lead to 6-2. Houston’s Framber Valdez allowed five hits and a run with six strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings to help the Astros avoid a three-game sweep and snap a three-game skid.“Spence was awesome,” Oakland manager Mark Kotsay said. “He gave us everything he had for seven solid innings against a solid lineup. This kid just continues to impress.”
It was the third hit in 12 games with Houston for Heyward, who signed with the Astros on Aug. 29, after being released by the Dodgers. Lawrence Butler doubled with one out in the third to extend his career-best hitting streak to 20 games.
