Jeremy Pena homered on the game's third pitch, Alex Bregman broke open a tight contest with a three-run double in the eighth, and the visiting Houston Astros closed in on a second consecutive sweep of the Oakland Athletics with a 6-3 triumph Saturday afternoon.
The Houston win spoiled a brilliant second major league appearance by A's left-hander Hogan Harris. He was so ineffective in his debut last month, the team had demoted him immediately following the effort.
Thanks in large part to five shutout innings by Harris in relief of Pruitt , Houston led just 2-1 entering the eighth before getting its high-powered offense rolling. Shea Langeliers singled home two runs to get Oakland within 6-3 and bring the potential tying run to the plate, but Hector Neris got Tony Kemp to ground out to preserve the lead.
