The Houston Astros and Tampa Bay Rays played an entertaining game for Jon Nunez Sr. Stadium patrons.

The Houston Astros did just enough to sneak past the Tampa Bay Rays, 5-4, at Jon Nunez Sr. Stadium. Houston pitcher Nick Avery, in particular, had a standout performance. The Astros, at 35-21, sit in first place in the American League West Division.

Houston used a timely hit from Chris Runyon to get the win. The third baseman stroked a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Astros ahead, 5-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"We played hard and won," said Avery. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'
