He pitched 7 innings, giving up 4 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 11 and walking 1. Ryan Pressly finished the game for Houston and earned his 3rd save.

Brantley had an important at-bat with a runner on 1st in the bottom of the seventh, when he hit a single. The Astros went on to win.

Houston, now 21-5, is setting the league on fire so far.
