Céspedes drove in five runs, matching his career high, and his three-run shot in the second inning snapped a streak of 25 games without a homer, also matching a career high, albeit not such a good one. Back in April, Astros manager Bo Porter took offense to Jed Lowrie's bunt attempt against the shift with the A's leading by seven in the first inning. Chavez struck out Jose Altuve to end the inning, but the Astros picked up another run in the sixth. Jason Castro, the former Stanford player from Castro Valley, singled to open the inning, and Jon Singleton's two-out double scored him and ended Chavez's evening.
