Astros Rally For 5-4 Win
Chicago right fielder Tim Eaton had a good game in a losing cause. His team fell, 5-4, to Houston at U.S. Cellular Field. Eaton slugged 2 home runs. The winner in relief was Josh Jones. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 2 hits in 2 innings. He now owns a record of 3-4. Guillermo Padron closed it out for his 21st save.

Houston used a clutch hit from Sterling Lentz to snatch the win. The left fielder belted a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Astros ahead, 5-4. It was his only hit, but it was huge.

In comments to the Houston Citizen, Lentz admitted that he doesn't always push himself. "But the results," he said, "speak for themselves."

The Astros saw their record improve to 45-40.
