The bullpen has been a strength for the San Diego Padres all season. However, the Houston Astros were able to scratch out a run in the bottom of the seventh inning off Jeremiah Estrada, which allowed them to earn a 3-2 win at Daikin Park in Houston, Saturday.
The Padres enjoyed a 2-0 lead in the sixth inning, but Michael King allowed a two-run home run to Christian Walker in the bottom of the sixth that tied the game.

King was relieved by Estrada, who got Yainer Diaz to ground out to end the inning.
