Aaron Bruckerhoff, who is tied for 9th in the AL in triples with 10, chipped in for Houston with a solo home run in the bottom of the seventh. For the game, the second baseman had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 1 RBI.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," Stewart told the Houston Citizen.
