Astros Hold Off Braves, 2-1
The Houston Astros scooped up a win at Minute Maid Park, dumping the Atlanta Braves, 2-1. Kihachi Okuhara, who finished 4th in the AL in ERA with 3.32 in 2103, was essential to his team's success. Okuhara got the win, improving to 12-5. He gave up 6 hits and walked 0 over 8 innings. He allowed 1 run. The save was credited to Jeff Hank, his 26th.

Houston went up, 2-0, on Zack Atwood's 22nd double of the season. The 2-run double, which Atwood hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Atlanta pitcher Andy Bourdeau shaking his head.

"Kihachi made the big pitches when he needed to," said Houston manager Zeb Currier.

The Astros go to 62-49, putting them second in the American League West Division.
