Justin Verlander struck out 11 in six dominant innings, Jose Altuve capped a nine-run eighth with a two-run homer, and the Houston Astros rallied for a 10-5 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night.
After the Angels scored five times in the top of the eighth, Yuli Gurriel, Brian McCann and Evan Gattis each hit RBI singles off of Ty Buttrey (0-1) to close the lead to 5-4. With the bases loaded and one out, pinch-hitter Tyler White hit a chopper to Taylor Ward, who threw it into right field, allowing two runs to score.
George Springer followed with a two-run single off of Blake Parker.
