WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Alejandro Garcia singled home a run in the ninth inning to catapult the Astros to a 5-4 victory over the Nationals on Saturday at the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches. It was the first run of the spring surrendered by Koda Glover, the Nats' dynamic young reliever who had not allowed a run in his first six innings while striking out 10.
Both teams had their share of defensive miscues throughout the game.
Houston made three errors on a third-inning single from Trea Turner, which ended up as a two-run, Little League home run.
