HOUSTON (AP) — For the first time in nearly eight years, two Houston Astros had multi-homer games.
Jason Castro and Matt Dominguez each belted two home runs for the Astros. It was the first time two Houston teammates have had multi-home run games since July 25, 2005, when Craig Biggio and Lance Berkman each had two.
The firepower wasn't enough to keep pace with the Oakland Athletics in an 11-5 loss on Saturday night.
