HOUSTON (AP) Kendall Graveman threw eight solid innings and Stephen Vogt had three hits, including a homer, as the Oakland Athletics held on to beat the Houston Astros 3-2 on Saturday.

Vogt hit a solo home run to left field in the second, an RBI single in the third and came around to score on a Marcus Semien bases loaded walk that made it 3-0.

Graveman (5-6) allowed two runs on five hits and struck out three in extending his win streak to four games. The outing tied the longest of his career at eight innings, which he set June 13, 2015 at the Angels. He retired the first 14 batters to start the game before A.J. Reed singled with two outs in the fifth.

Coco Crisp had two hits after serving a one-game suspension Friday, and Josh Reddick had two hits, including a triple.

Lance McCullers (4-3) allowed three runs on seven hits with six strikeouts and four walks in a season-low four innings.
