The Astros return to Houston on a high note after a series in Pittsburgh. They took their first series of 2023 with a strong showing at the plate, on the mound, and in the field.
Jose Urquidy recorded a six-inning shutout allowing only two hits but, uncharacteristically, three walks. Defense saved him several times, including diving catches by outfielders Chas McCormick, Kyle tucker, and Corey Julks.

Meanwhile, the Astros offense piled on all game, highlighted by a Julks solo homer, a three-run blast by Alex Bregman, and an RBI double by Jose Abreu, who had two hits.
