Getting a good performance from designated hitter Gregory Polanco, the Houston Astros defeated the Los Angeles Angels, 5-4. Polanco was 2 for 4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Astros. Houston reliever Dovydas Neverauskas picked up the win, upping his record to 6-4. Sam Tuivailala took the loss. At 74-79, the Astros find themselves in third place in the American League West Division.

Polanco had a big at-bat with runners on 1st and 2nd in the bottom of the fifth inning, when he hit a single. The Astros went on to win.

"I was a little disappointed," said Los Angeles manager Steph Villeneuve. "We could've and should've scored more runs."
