18,491 fans watched an exciting game at O.co Coliseum.  The Houston Astros
topped the Oakland A's by the slimmest of margins, 6 to 5.
 
Oakland surrendered all of the runs Houston needed in the 3rd inning when they
came up with 6 runs on 3 hits.  That early run support was all that Wandy
Rodriguez(2-2) required.  Houston took care of Oakland with no trouble in the
bottom of the 9th.  
 
Wilton Lopez preserved the game for Rodriguez, recording his his 2nd save.
Jarrod Parker(0-1) took the loss.  Houston scored big getting 6 runs off him
in 2 and 2/3 innings.  
 
'I struggled a bit out there today,' Rodriguez said, 'but I toughed it out and
we got the win.'
