The sequence distilled a 7-1 loss for the Astros and a four-game sweep at the hands of the A's, the last-place team in the AL West. Houston mustered seven runs over four games against the A's at Daikin Park, shrinking its division lead and highlighting the short-handed state of its lineup.

Nick Kurtz of the Athletics became the first rookie in major league history to hit four home runs in a game, going deep in the second, sixth, eighth and ninth innings at Houston on Friday night.

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...

The Astros have won 40, or 55.6%, of the 72 games they've played as favorites this season.
