 Houston is 7-1 against Oakland this season, and since 2016, Houston's 44-21 record against Oakland is the second-best mark between any two divisional opponents in MLB (Indians vs. Tigers, 52-17).

 The A's have homered in 21 straight games, tied with the Nationals for the second-longest such streak in MLB this season (Yankees, 31) -- the A's last had a longer streak in 1996 (23).

 Since the All-Star break, the A's and Astros are slugging .555 and .508, respectively, the top two marks in the American League. The Astros lead the AL in hits (111) and runs (67) since the break, while the A's have the best record in the AL since the break (7-2).

 Michael Brantley is coming off back-to-back three-hit games, and he's had at least three hits four times in July, tied for most in MLB. He has 10 games of at least three hits in 2019 -- only five American Leaguers have more.

 Jose Altuve has homered in each of his last two games, and his 14 home runs in 2019 have surpassed his total from 2018 (13), despite playing in less than half as many games (137 in 2018, 65 in 2019).

 Ramon Laureano has scored 20 runs in July, second in MLB to Mookie Betts (23). Laureano has 14 extra-base hits this month, tied for second in MLB behind Yuli Gurriel (15). His nine multi-hit games this month are tied for most in MLB.

HP - Tumpane, 1B - May, 2B - Barksdale, 3B - Danley

Oakland right-handed reliever Yusmeiro Petit delivered the sort of performance Tuesday that might yield benefits beyond the immediate result of the Athletics' 4-3, 11-inning win over the host Houston Astros.
With closer Liam Hendriks unavailable, Oakland manager Bob Melvin rode Petit for two critical frames during extra innings. Petit worked around a Marcus Semien error in the 10th inning before returning for the 11th and retiring the side in order to seal the victory, squaring the three-game series ahead of a rubber match on Wednesday.

Extra-inning win boosts A's entering finale in Houston

They continued to do that on Wednesday, getting a 4-2 win over the Oakland Athletics to improve to 9-2 against them this season and extend their lead in the division to 7 1/2 games.
