HOUSTON, TEXAS - JULY 17: Stephen Vogt #21 of the Oakland Athletics singles in a run past Yuli Gurriel #10 of the Houston Astros in the eighth inning at Minute Maid Park on July 17, 2022 in Houston, Texas. – Stephen Vogt hit a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning and the Oakland Athletics wrapped up a shaky first half by beating the Houston Astros 4-3 on Sunday.
Kyle Tucker and Jeremy Peña homered for Houston, which holds the second-best record in the AL at 59-32. Manager Dusty Baker’s club won the pennant last year but lost the World Series to Atlanta. “Montero has a great fastball, too, and I’ve been struggling with velocity,” Vogt said. “I told myself I needed to get on time for that fastball. Fortunately, I was able to get one close to me that I was able to sneak down the line. It feels good to come through for my teammates.”
