The Athletics defeated the Astros 7-6, according to multiple outlets, winning the series between the two teams. Per Sportsnet, Brian Serven hit a three-run homer and Max Muncy added a solo blast in the victory. Deadspin reported that Muncy's go-ahead home run came with two outs in the top of the seventh inning, part of a seven-run rally that erased Houston's six-run lead.
The loss marked a significant turnaround for the Astros, who had just completed a series victory in San Francisco. Craig Larson Jr., writing for The Crawfish Boxes, acknowledged being wrong about Houston's prospects during their homestand, saying he had predicted the team would "pad their lead" against opponents like the Mariners. Joel Blank, also at The Crawfish Boxes, characterized the homestand as "disastrous" for Houston fans.
