Its a nod to this team and how we dont give up.Marisnick led off the 10th with a single off Liam Hendricks (0-2) and stole second on George Springers strikeout before reaching third on a groundout by Marwin Gonzalez.After Jose Altuve was intentionally walked, Marisnick scored on Carlos Correas chopper to third that Danny Valencia threw up the line to first as Yonder Alonsos attempted tag missed Correa.We know we have a good team, and we can score runs at any time, so we have to put good at-bats together and the runs will come, Correa said.The error was the As season-high fourth of the game. The As had not made an error in a franchise-record 15 straight games entering Sunday.Hell tell you that its a play he expects to make, Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. You dont win many games with four errors, yet we got one pitch away from winning the game. The first ones didnt cost us, but the last one did.Will Harris (1-1) pitched a perfect 10th for the win.I like the fact that we stay resilient and we compete the whole game, Houston manager A.J. Hinch said. We took advantage of a couple mistakes to walk out of here with a win at the break.Evan Gattis hit an RBI double with two outs in the ninth off Ryan Madson to tie it at 1.These guys have battled me for years, Madson said. A lot of times they find a way.Marcus Semien gave the As a 1-0 lead on an RBI single in the sixth. Matt McBride started the inning with a single and moved to second on Coco Crisps sacrifice bunt before Semiens single.Sean Manaea scattered five hits with six strikeouts in seven shutout innings.

The left-hander continued his recent string of good outings and has allowed three runs or less in four of his last five starts.Im feeling better, Keuchel said. Its good to get the break like that. Im just trying to follow in the footsteps of the other starters, and thats a good thing to see when we are getting starts out of the starters and getting timely offense.TRAINING ROOMAthletics: 2B Eric Sogard (left knee surgery) will start to do more baseball activity after the All Star break, Melvin said. LHP Sean Doolittle, who has been on the 15-day DL with a left shoulder strain since late June, hasnt thrown yet, but is feeling better, Melvin said.Astros: OF Colby Rasmus was out of the lineup for a third straight day with an ear infection. ...

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Detroit Tigers gained ground in the American League wild card race on Wednesday night, even though they were rained out in Minnesota.Thursdays doubleheader gives Detroit another big opportunity to climb in the wild card standings.Wednesdays game was delayed by rain in the bottom of the third inning with the two teams scoreless and was postponed 90 minutes later leading to a split doubleheader on Thursday.Despite the rainout, the Tigers moved within a game of the Orioles for the final AL wild card as Toronto lost 2-1 at Seattle and Baltimore was beaten 5-1 by Boston.Right-hander Buck Farmer started for Detroit on Wednesday and had allowed one hit in 2 2/3 innings. Minnesota rookie Jose Berrios had stranded runners on third in the first two innings while giving up two hits and two walks.Berrios entered the game with an 8.88 ERA in his first 12 major league starts, which included an 0-1 mark against the Tigers with a 19.06 ERA.Youre just looking for things to make him feel a little bit better about what hes doing, Twins manager Paul Molitor said. We talked about after those innings when hes able to get off the field unscathed even though hes had a rough time, and how he can build on those things. Its kind of like it never happened because its going to get washed away, but at least in his mind he knows he went out there and competed pretty well for three innings.Verlander has won 11 of his last 12 decisions against Minnesota with a 2.28 ERA and 129 strikeouts in 118 2/3 innings. Santana hasnt recorded a decision in his last three outings, despite allowing just four runs in 18 innings.TThe postponement could prove beneficial for a few injury situations for both teams.ddddddddddddDetroit second baseman Ian Kinsler and designated hitter Victor Martinez were both out of Wednesdays lineup. Kinsler likely wouldnt be ready for Thursday as he deals with a concussion. Martinez has swelling in his right knee after being hit by a pitch on Sunday.Twins third baseman Miguel Sano came to the ballpark on Wednesday with a little stiffness after a rigorous workout on Tuesday, Molitor said. Sano has been out since Sept. 12 with a back injury, but Molitor left open the possibility that he could return to the lineup on Thursday.Well see how he does tomorrow, Molitor said. I know he did some cage stuff today. Im hoping that he can swing. We dont have a ton of players, considering where were at, so it would be nice if we can spread the workload out a little bit tomorrow.Twins second baseman Brian Dozier, who is third in the AL with 41 home runs, was hit in the ribs by a pitch in Wednesdays abbreviated game.We have to wait to see how he feels tomorrow, Molitor said. It was kind of up in the rib section. Hopefully hell be OK to find his way in there tomorrow in the early game, and well see how he does.UP NEXT:Anibal Sanchez (7-13, 5.90 ERA) will start the day game for Detroit against Minnesotas Pat Dean (1-6, 6.71).
