Houston Beats Washington, 5-3
The Houston Astros topped the Washington Nationals, 5-3, in American League action at Nationals Park. The game was highlighted by the performance of Houston pitcher Lance McCullers Jr.. Roberto Osuna earned his 9th save in 10 chances. The Astros lead the American League West Division by 5½ games.

It could have been a different outcome for Houston, had it not been for Michael Brantley, the four-time All-Star . Brantley contributed a 2-run single in the top of the first inning to put Houston up, 2-0.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said Houston manager Dusty Baker.
