  "summary": "The Houston Astros secured a 13-2 victory over the Athletics on Saturday, solidifying their first-place tie with the Texas Rangers in the American League West standings. Jeremy Peña and Yordan Alvarez each hit two home runs, while the team's rotation was bolstered by the return of right-hander Hayden Wesneski, who pitched seven innings on 82 pitches and allowed just two runs. This win keeps the Astros in contention for the division title, as they can clinch with a victory on Sunday, regardless of the Rangers' performance against the Minnesota Twins.",
