Astros Get Hard-Earned Win, Stop Rays, 4-3
Houston (GCL) Astros starter Luis Alvares pitched a strong game against the Tampa Bay (GCL) Rays at Ballpark of Belvedere, leading the Astros to victory, 4-3. Tom Davis, now 2-1, picked up the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.1 innings. Houston (GCL) is in first place in the Northeast Division with a record of 42-14.

Had Pedro Pena not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Pena hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Astros.

"It's always a heck of a lot easier to get to sleep after a win," Pena told the Houston (GCL) Bulletin. "I know I'll rest easy tonight."
