The Astros are targeting two specific things at the trade deadline as they try to contend for another World Series.

Dana Brown's options for a left-handed bat could include an infielder or outfielder with possible return of Jose Altuve to second base.

A Twins utilityman might make more sense than Arizona's third baseman, plus notes on other deadline options and Cam Smith's recent slide.

Starting in the leadoff spot for the first time in his nine-year career, Andujar homered on Colton Gordon's fifth pitch. With two out, Langeliers sent a 3-0 fastball over the train tracks in left for his 17th home run of the season.

Shea Langeliers and Lawrence Butler homered, Nick Kurtz followed his historic four-homer game with two hits and the Athletics won their third straight game, beating the Houston Astros 5-1 on Saturday

Nick Kurtz became the first major league rookie to hit four homers in a game, leading the Athletics to a 15-3 victory over the Houston Astros on Friday night.
