The Oakland Athletics secured a 4-3 victory over the Houston Astros in a 12-inning game, highlighted by Zack Gelof's early home run and two crucial bunts in the 12th inning that drove in runs. Despite a strong start from Houston's Spencer Arrighetti, who allowed two runs over 6 2/3 innings, the Astros could not capitalize on late-game opportunities. Oakland's Brent Rooker and Lawrence Butler were key offensive performers, with Butler extending his hitting streak to 18 games. Jose Altuve of the Astros contributed significantly with an RBI double and a single that tied the game in the seventh inning. This series marks the final meetings between the two teams as the Athletics prepare to relocate from Oakland. The Astros maintain a 7-4 lead in the season series against the Athletics.
