Morton fans 12, Astros win 9-4 in A's 5th straight loss

HOUSTON -- Charlie Morton struck out a career-high 12, George Springer singled home the tying run in his return from a leg injury that caused him to miss four games and the Houston Astros rallied past Oakland 9-4 Friday night to send the Athletics to their fifth straight loss.

Khris Davis hit a three-run homer in the first and a solo shot in the third, putting Oakland ahead 4-3 with his ninth home run this season.

Springer, back from a strained left hamstring, singled to tie the score in the fourth.
