He pitched 5.2 innings, giving up 6 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 3 and walking 4. Ryan Pressly earned save number 9 this season.

Houston relied on the hitting of George Springer to pick up the win. The center fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Astros on top, 3-1. For the game, Springer had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We played hard and won," said Stubbs. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'

The win puts Houston at 32-18 this season.
