HOUSTON -- George Springer's first homer of the season in the sixth inning eased the tension, and Robbie Grossman's first blast of the year an inning later sealed the deal in the Astros' 4-0 win over the Angels on Saturday night at Minute Maid Park.
The first homers of the season for both came at a great time for the Astros, who are scuffling on offense this season while they await sluggers Chris Carter and Evan Gattis to get going.
"It's fun," said Grossman, whose opposite-field shot in the seventh off Mike Morin put Houston ahead, 4-0.
