Astros top A's 8-4

Gerrit Cole dazzled into the seventh inning as the Astros doubled up the Athletics 8-4 in Houston. Cole struck out 12 over  six-and-two-thirds but didn't factor in the decision with WIll Harris  getting credit for the win.  George Springer and Jose Altuve each drove  in a pair of runs in the winning effort.  The 'Stros have won  three-of-four and improved to 19-and-10 overall.  Trevor Cahill  surrendered four runs, three earned, over six innings to take the loss  for Oakland as it fell to 14-and-14.  Jonathan Lucroy had three hits and  two RBI in defeat.
