France knew he had been more reliable on the road than in Houston so far this season — and showed it again, even after getting in an early hole.Relying on his nasty change-up, the rookie struck out five while pitching into the eighth inning for the first time to win his third straight decision, Kyle Tucker hit a go-ahead two-run double in the sixth, and the Astros beat the Oakland Athletics 3-1 on Thursday night.The right-hander owns a 2.05 ERA over the first eight road starts of his career, which is lowest in the majors by a starting pitcher with a minimum of 40 innings.“You’ve got to go out there and just take every game as it is.

I knew on the road I was pitching a little better, but that’s awesome.”Alex Bregman homered in the ninth to help secure the win for France (5-3). France, a 28-year-o...
