Kemp went 1-for-3 with a triple, two RBI, a run, two walks and two strikeouts Friday against Oakland.
Since debuting with the Astros on May 18, Kemp has been in the lineup often against right-handed starters. Friday marked the first time he's hit higher than ninth in the order (he hit eighth), and it appears as though Kemp will continue to see chances to play at least on a semi-regular basis despite the recent activation of Carlos Gomez from the disabled list.
