For the fifth game in a row, the Astros came out with the win. On Friday night, things weren’t any different as their hitters went out loud with a 10-3 score – the Astros had not scored 10 runs since May 17. The Cuban trio formed by Yuli Gurriel, Yordan Álvarez, and Aledmys Díaz was lights out while José Urquidy had a strong outing to raise the Astros’ lead in the AL West by 7.5 games over the Angels.
The Astros, with the second-best record in the young circuit, had it going early with a two-run home run by Díaz for his third four-bagger of the season and his first one since May 8.
