HOUSTON (AP) Carlos Correa had three hits and his RBI single with one out in the 12th inning lifted the Houston Astros to a 6-5 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Saturday.

After Jed Lowrie hit a tying home run with two outs in the ninth for Oakland, the Astros came back to win.

George Springer started Houston's 12th with a double off Ryan Madson (2-2) and advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Jose Altuve. Correa then shot a single down the right field line to give Houston its seventh win in eight games.
