					| Katz goes 3-for-4, Leads Astros to Win |  
					| The 8-5 Houston win over Baltimore was due largely to Eric Katz. The Astros left fielder went 3 for 4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. The winning pitcher was Moises Hernandez Jr.. He's now 5-5. He went 6.1 innings, allowing no runs on 6 hits for the Astros. Houston's record now stands at 31-39, placing them last in the American League West Division. 
 The Astros got an important contribution from shortstop Jesse Scott, who in the bottom of the second hit a 2-2 splitter into left-center for a 3-run  home run. It was his 3rd home run of the season and put the Astros ahead, 4-0.
 
 "Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Scott.
