On Friday night, the Oakland Athletics significantly boosted their slim playoff hopes by overwhelming the Houston Astros with a 14-2 victory. Powering the Athletics' win was Frankie Montas, who pitched masterfully for seven innings, allowing only two hits, and in doing so, became the first Oakland pitcher in twenty years to achieve 200 strikeouts in a season.
