    HOUSTON -- Oaklands offence went cold after the As jumped out to an early lead against Houston on Friday night. When they finally rediscovered it in the ninth inning, almost everybody got in on the action. Daric Barton and Josh Donaldson had two RBIs apiece in a seven-run ninth inning during which 12 As batted to help Oakland to a 12-5 win over the Astros. The game was tied at 5 when Josh Fields (0-2) plunked Brandon Moss before back-to-back singles by Alberto Callaspo and Craig Gentry loaded the bases. Bartons sharply hit grounder bounced off Jose Altuves glove and into right field to send two home. Rookie right fielder George Springers error on that play allowed a third run to score, sending the few fans left filing to the exits. "It was awesome to finish the way we did," Gentry said. "I thought Mossy getting hit by that pitch and Callaspo with that nice single, I think that really got us going. Once we got a couple of runs across, we were kind of relaxed and were able to let it go." Donaldson, who homered twice on Thursday night, connected again on Friday with a shot off Anthony Bass to the Crawford Boxes in left field to make it 12-5. Moss was hit by a pitch for a second time in that inning after the home run to become the first player in the majors to be hit twice in the same inning since David DeJesus on June 18, 2012. Jed Lowrie had two hits and two RBIs to help the As improve to 5-0 against Houston this season and 25-5 against the Astros all-time. Altuve had three hits and drove in a run for Houston, which has lost 10 of its last 12 games and allowed 22 runs in the first two games of this four-game series. Chris Carter hit a leadoff double in the eighth inning, but Luke Gregerson (1-1) retired the next three Astros to end the threat. Former Astro Fernando Abad hit Jason Castro on the backside with a pitch with one out in the ninth inning. Castro jawed with catcher Derek Norris before heading to first base. Houston manager Bo Porter darted out of the dugout and began yelling at plate umpire Jordan Baker and was ejected. "If youre going to toss our guy (Thursday), it looked pretty intentional to me," Porter said. "Its a judgment call on the umpires part, and he didnt think it was intentional. I said my piece and what I thought, and he threw me out of the game." Castros plunking came after Lowrie accused Houston of intentionally hitting him with a pitch Thursday night for an incident in the last series between these teams when the Astros were miffed after he attempted a bunt with a seven-run lead in the first inning. Moss didnt think he was hit on purpose, but he parroted what Porter said a night before when Lowrie was hit. "Theyve hit us a few times this series and we hit one of their guys," Moss said. "I think Bo said it (Thursday), the game of baseball takes care of itself and thats what happened tonight. Some people may not like it, Castro might not like it but you stand behind your words." The As put up four runs in the second inning and extended the lead to 5-1 in the fourth. Houston answered with four runs in the bottom of the inning to tie it up. Jesse Chavez had his first tough outing of the season, allowing a career-high eight hits with five runs -- four earned -- in five innings. He entered having allowed just one earned run in each of his four starts and had a 1.38 ERA. Houston starter Brad Peacock yielded five hits and five runs, including three earned, with a career-most six walks in five innings. NOTES: As left fielder Yoenis Cespedes sat out Friday after straining his left hamstring a night before. Manager Bob Melvin said he expects him to be out a couple of days. ... Houston right-handed reliever Jesse Crain, who has been on the disabled list all season after biceps surgery during spring training has been shut down after developing bursitis in his shoulder. General manager Jeff Luhnow said the current problem is not related to his surgery. He was scheduled to return in early May, but Luhnow said he will not be ready then and he should have a updated timetable for his return in about 10 days. ... RHP Mark Appel, the first overall pick by the Astros in 2013, has been sent to extended spring training after starting the season at Single-A Lancaster. Luhnow said he is not injured but was behind after missing most of spring training after an emergency appendectomy and needed more games to get "more used to the pro routine."

But who flourished at the blue-brand event and who had an evening to forget? Read on as we look at the winners and losers… Watch WWE No Mercy Find out how to book a pay-per-view repeat WINNERS Dolph ZigglerHeading into the nights Intercontinental Title encounter, Ziggler knew that if he lost to The Miz, his time as an active member of the WWE roster was over. It looked over more than once during the match, most memorably before he somehow placed his foot on the bottom rope to curtail the pin at the last moment after he had been clocked by a Skull-Crushing Finale. Dolph Zigglers WWE career is alive and kicking Yet, the Clevelander dealt with interference from Mizs wife, Maryse, and his former Spirit Squad allies, Kenny and Mikey, to pinch the white belt for the fifth time. The reactions of Ziggler and the crowd following his victory showed how neither were ready for the Show-Off to hang up his boots. Props to The Miz, too, for the part he played in a quite pulsating and highly emotional dust-up.AJ StylesBy hook or by crook - that appears to be the AJ Styles way these days. Having won the WWE World Title from Dean Ambrose at Backlash with a low-bow and retained it against The Lunatic Fringe on an episode of Smackdown when John Cena proved too much of a distraction for Ambrose, The Phenomenal One triumphed in controversial circumstances again at No Mercy to remain champ. AJ Styles remains WWE World Champion Styles survived tapping out during his Triple Threat match with Cena and Ambrose when the referee could not decide who had made the title holder submit, before he whacked Cena with a chair - legal under Triple Threat rules but slightly nefarious all the same - to keep his gold. Styles contentious triumph also prevented Cena from equalling Ric Flair on 16 world titles - for now at least.Bray WyattAs captivating as he is on the microphone, wins of magnitude have been hard for Wyatt to obtain during his WWE career. He notched a significant triumph in Sacramento, though, when he knocked off 12-time world champion Randy Orton in the main event. That victory will be forever etched into the record books, albeit that it may never have come to pass if not for Luke Harper. Wyatt received a little help from his friend Harper, one of the most talented and underrated wrestlers in WWE, had been sidelined since March with a severe knee injury but returned during the closing stages of Sundays show to shock Orton and allow Wyatt to pin him. With Harper now back by his side, Wyatt becomes an even more fearsome proposition for the Smackdown locker room. Perhaps now he can finally win a maiden main-roster title.LOSERSThe UsosStyles personality shift has helped him become world champion but The Usos hasnt quite had the same impact. As Jimmy and Jey explained during a sit-down interview with Michael Cole last week, their decision to ditch the vibrant clothing and show little respect to their opponents has got people talking about them - but it hasnt yielded results. The Usos are falling short in their Tag Title pursuits Twice they have fought Heath Slater and Rhyno for the Smackdown Tag Team Titles and twice they have come up short, firstly at Backlash and now at No Mercy, with Jey ruthlessly Gored by The Man Beast.dddddddddddd Usually when WWE tag teams suffer a run of defeats, a split becomes a distinct possibility, so it will be interesting to see whether the Samoan-American twins remain as tight as they were when they were wearing gold.Alexa Bliss and CarmellaBliss and Carmella have made great strides since swapping NXT for the bright blue lights of Smackdown Live but were outgunned by more experienced foes this weekend. Bliss, incredibly vexed at Becky Lynchs injury leaving her unable to fight for the Womens Title, was pinned by Naomi during an impromptu match. Alexa Bliss endured a frustrating night Carmella, meanwhile, slipped up against former two-time Divas Champion Nikki Bella despite seemingly having her rival beat when she locked in the Code of Silence. Bliss and Carmella will now know the big leagues can be unforgiving, something that should stand Bliss in good stead when she finally wrestles Lynch for her championship in Glasgow on November 8.The MizAs mentioned in the Ziggler section, The Miz can be proud of his No Mercy display but hell no doubt be distraught with the end result, as he saw his hopes of extending his Intercontinental Title reign beyond 200 days came to a grinding halt. The Awesome Ones fifth stint with the strap ended at 188 days, rendering him unable to match the likes of Orton, Shawn Michaels and The Ultimate Warrior in the double hundred club. Ziggler hits The Miz with a Zig Zag en route to his win Seeing how confidence has never been an issue for Miz, he would probably have set his sights on bettering the record Intercontinental Title reign, Honky Tonk Mans 454 days. Now hell be intent on stopping Ziggler overhaul his overall number of days with the Intercontinental Title - Mizs tally is 303, Ziggler is now sat in the mid-270s.WWE No Mercy is repeated on Sky Sports Box Office (channel 491) BUT NOT Sky Sports HD Box Office (channel 492) between 10am on Monday, October 10 and 10pm on Thursday, October 13.
