After the Houston Astros wrapped up their season series with the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday, manager A.J. Hinch likened the last three games to a heavyweight title fight. His Astros won two of three to take the belt for now, but he knows that they'll have to play well down the stretch to fend off the Athletics for the AL West title. "We have a lot of games to play, a lot of games to win," Hinch said. "This one feels like a big one obviously to send them out of town a little beat up from the losses. But, also their bullpen is a little beat up, ours is, too. It felt like kind of a heavyweight battle." The Astros gave the Athletics just their second series defeat in their last 21 series when Tyler White homered with one out in the ninth inning to give Houston a 5-4 victory. read more http://www.espn.com/mlb/recap?gameId=380829118
