Big Day for Moran as Astros Down Angels, 11-7
The Houston Astros beat the Los Angeles Angels, 11-7, at Minute Maid Park. The win was largely due to the efforts of third baseman Colin Moran, who captured player of the game honors. He was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 4. Tony Zych notched his 11th save in 16 chances. With the win, Houston has a record of 63-72. Los Angeles falls to 77-58.

The Astros got a big at-bat from catcher Welington Castillo. For the game, Castillo went 1-4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the fourth, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 3-run home run. His 19th home run of the season gave Houston a 5-4 lead.

"It feels good to get this one," Moran told the Houston Chronicle.
