Hinch joked that his teams improbable 4-3 win over the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday was premeditated.We had it all mapped out that way, Hinch said.

Alex Bregman then struck out, but the ball got away on a wild pitch.Catcher Bruce Maxwell chased it to the backstop and made a desperation throw to first, but Bregman was safe by a step and Springer scored.Jose Altuve tripled home the tying run and Gattis singled for the lead.Every win is big, but this one was big for us, Altuve said. It keeps our momentum going. Were really playing really good ball. Weve got to keep going.The Astros began the day two games behind Baltimore for the second AL wild-card slot.

Its one special thing to watch.The Athletics have lost 12 of their last 18 games.Detwiler had given up 14 runs and 23 hits in his previous three starts. He shut down Houston, striking out seven. Carlos Correa hit an RBI double for the only run off Detwiler.He had good stuff today, man, Gattis said. He pitched in today well and had a good changeup. We just couldnt get anything going with him.The As got all three of their runs in the second off Mike Fiers. Jake Smolinski hit a two-run triple and Bruce Maxwell had a sacrifice fly.Fiers gave up eight hits and three runs -- one earned -- in five innings. After he was gone, the Astros rallied.Thats how this team is. We dont stop, we battle, Fiers said.
