| Davis: 2 HR, 5 RBI |
The Oakland A's won their fifth straight game, with a 6-5, come-from-behind win at Texas.
It was the second straight game the A's have rallied for a win. On Tuesday, Oakland came back from a 10-2 deficit for a 13-10 win in 11 innings.
Khris Davis was almost single-handedly responsible for Wednesday's win, socking a three-run home run in the seventh after the A's trailed, 5-1. In the ninth, Davis launched a two-run shot for a 6-5 A's advantage. Oakland's Blake Treinen struck out the side in the bottom of the ninth for his 26th save.
Davis, who has 27 homers and 77 RBI, has been on a tear, whacking six long balls and driving in 13 runs in the last four games, homering in each. He's fourth in the AL in home runs and second in RBI.
The A's wrap up their series in Texas Thursday at 8:05 pm EDT.

| Blackmon: walk-off homer |
Blackmon, batting out of his customary leadoff spot, had walked twice but was left stranded as Houston's Charlie Morton and the Rockies' Jon Gray engaged in a fierce pitching duel. Morton allowed one run on four hits over six innings, while Gray allowed one hit and one earned run in seven innings of work.
Blackmon's homer was his 20th of the season, and the win left the Rockies in third place, just 1 1/2 games behind the Dodgers in the NL West. Arizona holds second, 1/2 game behind LA.
Houston, despite the loss, still leads Seattle by five games in the AL West.
The teams split the two-game series, Houston taking Tuesday's game by an 8-2 score. Both teams have Friday off and open weekend series at their respective homes. Houston will host Texas while the Rockies welcome the red-hot Oakland A's in for a three-game series in Denver.
