His record is now 1-1. Jonathan Bowlan took the loss. The second-place Astros have won 5 straight games.

Grae Kessinger provided a timely hit. The Houston designated hitter delivered a run-scoring triple in the top of the 11th inning to put the Astros on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in the game, but he made it count.

"Good win for us, tough loss for them," said Kessinger.
