With two of Houston’s top players out after an unfortunate collision on Wednesday, the Astros still had enough to send the Bombers home disappointed.
It was Luis Garcia’s (6-5, 3.54) turn to turn in a great performance. With starter after starter pitching the lights out for the last few weeks, it was really no big surprise that Garcia allowed just one run over 5 1⁄3 innings. He gave up the run on three hits and two walks, striking out six and getting 63-of-101 pitches over the plate.
Alex Bregman got the Astros on the board first with a two-run double in the third inning.
