The Houston Astros they defeated the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field in Florida’s Tampa Bay by a score of four runs to none. Guianan pitcher Luis García was the winner of the match with a five-inning performance in which he allowed only two hits, he walked 4 and struck out 4.
The Texan box went ahead after only five pitches with a solo home run by José Altuve to left field. Altuve’s homer would be the Astros’ only streak for six innings.
Later, in the sixth act, the second race of the visitors would arrive thanks to a line by Yordan Álvarez down the right sector, which pushed José Altuve towards the rubber. Immediately after, Alex Bregman would hit a double to the wickets on the left to drive in the final two streaks by Jeremy Peña and Yordan Álvarez.
