HOUSTON—Alex Bregman hit two home runs and had a season-high four RBIs to lead the Houston Astros to a 9–2 win over the Oakland Athletics on Monday night.

Bregman homered off Oakland starter Ross Stripling (1–7) in the fourth inning, reminiscent of the homer he hit off Stripling in the 2018 All-Star Game. Bregman homered again in the seventh off Mitch Spence. Bregman entered Monday with just one homer in 144 at-bats this season but caught fire and had his sixth career multi-homer game.
