HOUSTON -- Liam Hendriks took all the responsibility for letting a late lead slip away.And it was a pitch that got away really cost the Oakland Athletics.Evan Gattis hit an RBI single to cap a three-run rally in the eighth inning keyed by a wild pitch on a strikeout, leading the Houston Astros over Oakland 4-3 Wednesday.Hendriks entered in the eighth with a 3-1 lead, thanks in large part to a brilliant performance from starter Ross Detwiler. Soon after that, the As were trailing.That was all on me, Hendriks said. Bad pitches, I hung some stuff. I got some good pitches in there early but then wasnt able to finish them late. Just wasnt able to pull it off and thats completely on me.Hendriks (0-3) got two quick outs in the eighth before George Springer tripled. Alex Bregman then struck out, but the pitch got loose.Catcher Bruce Maxwell chased the ball to the backstop and made a desperation throw to first, but Bregman beat the throw by a step as Springer scored.Jose Altuve tripled home the tying run and Gattis singled for the lead.After being swept by Houston, the Athletics have lost 12 of their last 18 games.Detwiler gave up three hits and struck out seven. He had given up 14 runs and 23 hits in his previous three starts.Ross was dominant out there today, Hendriks said. Its a shame we werent able to pull this one off for him.Thats the best Ive seen him out there today. He was dotting up, he was getting into good counts, he was throwing good pitches to get guys out. Unfortunately, we werent able to hold it for him and thats all on me, he said.Carlos Correa hit an RBI double for the only run off Detwiler.Its baseball, Detwiler said. Its a tough game and its always tough to win on the road. If one ball bounces this way or one ball bounces that way then its a completely different series. They just didnt bounce our way right now and thats what happens.Michael Feliz (8-1) pitched a scoreless eighth. Ken Giles closed for his seventh save.The As got all three of their runs in the second off Mike Fiers. Jake Smolinski hit a two-run triple and Maxwell had a sacrifice fly.If we end up winning this game here we end up 3-3 on the trip, Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. We played well in St. Louis and didnt play as well here. Going into the eighth, we had a chance to win this game, so that makes it disappointing.After officially announcing the trade of outfielder Coco Crisp to Cleveland earlier in the day, the As called up Joey Wendle from Triple-A. In his major league debut, he went 0 for 4 and scored a run.I thought he had some good at-bats, Melvin said. Just missed the curveball in the right-center field gap when he flew out there. I thought he looked good, thought he looked comfortable.TRAINERS ROOMAthletics: LHP Sean Manaea (sore back) will miss his next scheduled start on Sunday. He left his start last Monday vs. Houston in the fourth inning.

LATROBE, Pa. -- A farewell to the King turned somber when Jack Nicklaus, his voice cracking as a large tear formed in his left eye, urged the elite and the everyman to remember how Arnold Palmer touched their lives and please dont forget why.I hurt like you hurt, Nicklaus said. You dont lose a friend of 60 years and dont feel an enormous loss.The service Tuesday at Saint Vincent College in Palmers hometown was filled with just as much laughter and warmth from stories of the most significant figure in modern golf. Nearly 1,000 golf dignitaries from around the world, referred to by former LPGA Commissioner Charlie Mechem as the elite battalion of Arnies Army, crammed into the basilica.Some 4,000 others headed to remote sites across the college to watch. Long lines of traffic formed two hours before the service began.Palmer died Sept. 25 in Pittsburgh at age 87 as he was preparing for heart surgery. His family had a private funeral Thursday and asked that a public service be held after the Ryder Cup so no one would be left out.We were looking down at the air strip and the fog just suddenly lifted, Ernie Els said after landing in one of several private jets that descended on Arnold Palmer Regional Airport in Latrobe. This is a beautiful day. Weve all met different people in life. He was a man who didnt change. It didnt matter if you cut the grass or you were a president. He was the same with everybody. He was just ... he was the man.Palmer won 62 times on the PGA Tour, including seven major championships. He inspired the modern version of the Grand Slam by going over to the British Open and making it important in the eyes of Americans again. He was a captain twice in the Ryder Cup, and the gold trophy the Americans won Sunday at Hazeltine sat on a table for guests to see as they took their seats.But this service was more about the lives Palmer touched than the tournaments he won.In the large portrait at the front of the stage, Palmer wasnt holding a golf club or a trophy. It was just the King and that insouciant grin that made everyone feel like they were friends, even if they had never met.Have there been better golfers? Perhaps, but not many. Has anyone done more for the game? No one has come even close, former R&A chief Peter Dawson said. Is there a finer human being? I havent met one yet.Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III, Phil Mickelson and a few other members of the U.S. team were there. So was the generation before them, Tom Watson and Curtis Strange, Lee Trevino and Mark OMeara. Dozens of others were there, along with the heads of every major golf organization. All of them alternately smiled aand wiped away the occasional tear.ddddddddddddPGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem said he had known Palmer since 1957 -- Finchem was 10 that year -- because when you saw him play, it was the same thing as meeting him. He said Palmer brought so many people to golf because of his attacking style, his television appeal and how he carried himself.He had this other thing, Finchem said. It was the incredible ability to make you feel good -- not just about him, but about yourself. I was amazed by how people reacted to him. He took energy from that and turned right around and gave it back.Mechem, the former LPGA commissioner who became one of Palmers closest advisers, set the tone for the service by asking the crowd to remember the image of Palmer walking up the 18th fairway, hitching up his pants and giving a thumbs-up. Still, a touch of sadness was inevitable.Theres an old saying that there are no irreplaceable people, Mechem said, his voice cracking toward the end of the ceremony. Whoever made that line didnt know Arnold Palmer. There will never be another.Among the more poignant tributes was Palmers grandson, Sam Saunders, who plays on the PGA Tour.There wasnt a big difference between the man you saw on TV and the man we knew at home, Saunders said.Saunders grew up calling him Dumpy because thats what his older sister said when trying to call him Grumpy. The name stuck. Thats how Saunders had Palmer listed in his phone, and he used that number more times than he could remember.The last call was a week ago Sunday at 4:10 p.m., shortly before Palmer died.He answered on the first ring. He was in the hospital preparing for surgery the next morning, Saunders said. He told me to take care of my babies, my entire family. I intend to do that and make him proud. I told him I loved him. He told me he loved me back. That was the last thing we said to each other, and I will cherish that the rest of my life. And Ill take the best piece of advice he gave me, to talk less and listen more.Palmers co-pilot, Pete Luster, flew Palmers plane over Saint Vincent College for nearly an hour before the service. The crowd gathered outside the basilica when it was over to watch Luster fly overhead and tip the wing.He made one more pass in the plane -- tail number N1AP -- and then soared upward until it disappeared behind a large, white cloud.Higher. Faster. Thats how Palmer used to fly, thats how he used to play. Thats how he lived.He was the king of our sport, Nicklaus said. And he always will be. ' ' '
