Looking to avoid the sweep, the Astros struggled to get the offense going once again, and the bullpen gave up two runs in the bottom of the ninth to secure the victory for Cincinnati. The Astros lone bright spot on offense was a two-run homer by Michael Brantley in the sixth inning.
Final Score: Reds 3 , Astros 2.
Record: 48-27, first in the AL West.
Winning pitcher: Matt Bowman (1-0) 0.77 ERA
Losing pitcher: Roberto Osuna (3-1) 2.32 ERA
Up Next: Houston will head to New York to face the Yankees on Thursday night at 6:05pm. The pitching matchup for the opener will be Framber Valdez (3-2, 2.77 ERA) for the Astros and the Yankees' starter is yet to be determined.
