HOUSTON -- Toronto FC appears to be gaining some momentum and confidence at just the right time. Joe Bendik made four saves on Saturday night as Toronto played the Houston Dynamo to a scoreless draw that extended the Reds unbeaten streak to three games. In a contest that saw few good scoring chances, Bendik helped Toronto secure its first clean sheet since Oct. 20, 2012, against Montreal, which also ended in a scoreless tie. "We have been very close six or seven times and conceded late," Toronto head coach Ryan Nelsen said of the clean sheet. "We have had a bit of bad luck, but it was always going to come. It is something to grow from. We notch that one, and we try to get as many more as we can." Bendik said before this season, Toronto would either make a mistake or the opposition would catch a break and get a goal late. That did not happen Saturday night. "We finished the game out today as we did last week (a 2-1 victory at D.C. United)," Bendik said. "It is hopefully the first of many (shutouts). It was a pretty good team effort. 0-0 in Houston is a pretty good mental challenge." In extending its unbeaten streak, Toronto (2-7-6, 12 points) stretched Houstons (6-5-5, 23 points) winless streak to six. Toronto had a chance to notch the game-winner late, but Jeremy Brockies shot in the 85th minute from outside the box saved by Houston goalkeeper Tally Hall, and Danny Koevermans rebound attempt was also saved by Hall, who also finished with four stops. Torontos Doneil Henry had a header off a corner kick in the 16th minute saved by Hall as well. Brockie said Toronto will take the result. "At this stage we will take one point over no points. Over the 90 minutes, we had the better opportunities than they did," he said. "It is a little disappointing to not get one on the board, but the boys worked very hard for the result." Will Bruin had Houstons best chances -- three headers in the first half -- with one cleared, a second go high and a third saved by Bendik. "I thought it was a very sufficient performance," Nelsen said. "Obviously, it is one of the most difficult places to play, especially this time of year. (Houston head coach) Dominic (Kinnear) has them so well-rounded. June, July, August this is such a hard place to come. The guys had to stand up and all of them did. Unfortunately we couldnt pinch it at the end." Nelsen said the two games upcoming at home are key, and if Toronto came get two positive results, then things would start to look a bit different as the club tries to climb the Eastern Conference table. "Guys from day one to now are improving," Nelsen said. "The team as a whole is improving. I think the performances have been there, and we havent gotten the results we deserve, but I think now the hard work they have put in has paid off."

They hit three homers after the seventh inning in the first two games of the series combined and saw no reason their late flashes of power would stop in this one. Coco Crisp hit a two-run homer in Oaklands three-run seventh inning to help the Athletics to a 4-3 win over the Astros on Wednesday. "What it does is it gives us the confidence that we can come back," manager Bob Melvin said of the late homers. "And then we know that when we get a guy on base were one hit away from being in a better position than we were." The As trailed by two before an RBI double by Eric Sogard with one out cut the deficit to 3-2 and chased starter Bud Norris. Crisp launched his home run off Travis Blackley (1-1) to the Crawford Boxes in left field to put Oakland on top. "I dont think we rely on home runs, we just got up there and battle," Crisp said. "It just so happens thats how this series broke down. We just go out there and battle and try to manufacture runs in any way that we can." Blackley was disappointed that he didnt execute against Crisp. "I just didnt do my job," he said. "I got ahead like I was trying to do and I just left one about three inches too high and he did his job well and took care of it." John Jaso had a solo homer in the first inning for the As, who have won 11 of 12 against Houston this season. It was the 21st win for Oakland in a one-run game which is the most in the American League. A.J. Griffin (9-7) allowed six hits and three runs and tied a season-high with eight strikeouts in 6 1-3 innings for the win. "I felt like I had the best stuff Ive had this year," he said. "My lanes were good to the plate with all my pitches. I felt like I was doing a good job of keeping my delivery the same for every pitch and keeping them off-balance for the most part. That was the most locked in Ive felt in a long time, pretty much all year." He continued to be plagued by the long ball though, giving up two more on Wednesday to give him 23 this season which is tied for second-most in the majors. He joked about adding to his home run total. "Thats pretty me, I guess," he said. Jose Altuve tied it at 1 with a homer in the fourth inning and Carlos Corporans two-run homer gave Houston a 3-1 lead in the sixth. Norris yielded four hits and three runs with seven strikeouts in 6 1-3 innings. It could be the last start for Norris as an Astro at Minute Maid Park with the trade deadline approaching and Houston embarking on a 10-game road trip.dddddddddddd As the highest paid player on this rebuilding team with a $3 million salary, Norris, who has spent his entire career with the Astros, has been the subject of trade speculation. "Its something that I prepared myself for last night and the days leading up to it," Norris said. "So it definitely was a little emotional and the fans really knew about it too which was pretty special. I just went out there and threw a good ball game as best I could and gave my team a chance to win. Unfortunately it was a tough one." Norris pitched better than he had in his last two tough starts where he allowed 17 hits and 13 runs combined in two losses. The Astros had a chance to tie it in the eighth inning with runners at first and second and one out. But Jesse Chavez retired Corporan before Ryan Cook came in and got Brett Wallace on a flyout to end the threat. Cook remained in for the ninth and got his second save. Jasos homer to with one out in the first inning gave Oakland a 1-0 lead. Norris got right back on track after that and struck out Josh Donaldson and Jed Lowrie to end the inning. Griffin didnt allow a hit until Marc Krauss singled with two outs in the third inning. Altuve opened Houstons fourth with his fourth home run of the season to tie it. Jason Castro hit a double with one-out in the sixth before Corporans two-out shot to the seats in right field put Houston up 3-1. Norris had retired seven in a row before Jaso walked to start the sixth inning. Norris then plunked Josh Donaldson, but he escaped the jam by sitting down the next three batters, ending the inning by striking out Brandon Moss. Yoenis Cespedes was back in the lineup after not starting five games because of a sore left wrist and hit a single in the second inning. The Home Run Derby champ made his first appearance since the All-Star break as a pinch-hitter on Tuesday night.
