Oakland Drops Houston, 5-1
Starting pitcher Spencer Strider was a major factor in the 5-1 Oakland Roses triumph over the Houston Titans. With the win, Oakland upped its record to 29-12.

Jarren Duran had a big solo home run for the Roses in the top of the second inning. With Oakland leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he sized up a fastball from Aaron Nola, who is a two-time All-Star, and punished it. The result was his 3rd home run of the season, which put the Roses on top, 2-0.

"Spencer is a tough competitor," said Oakland manager Herb Pilgrim.
