The Astros took a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the inning when Norichika Aoki led off with a single, moved to third on a double by Alex Bregman and scored on a Carlos Beltran groundout. Brian McCann then drove in Bregman with a sacrifice fly.
McHugh, making his first start in Grapefruit League play after suffering arm fatigue earlier in the spring, issued a one-out walk in the second to Harrison Bader, who scored on Wong's triple to right to tie the game.
