Astros stunned by A's late rally

Both starters (Mike Fiers and Chris Bassitt) gave up one run in 6 2/3 innings, pitching well and keeping their respective teams in the game.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Colby's Jack: The Astros' struggles to hit with runners in scoring position were washed away in one mighty swing of the bat by Rasmus, whose 14th homer -- a three-run blast in the ninth -- gave them the lead in the 9th. The Astros were 2-for-23 with runners in scoring position in the series before Rasmus demolished a 3-2 pitch from Edward Mujica.
