Houston third baseman Colin Moran played a vital role in his team's 7-6 triumph over Pittsburgh. He went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for Houston. Houston reliever Justin Lawrence picked up the win, upping his record to 3-1. Seranthony Dominguez took the loss. Their 30-52 record puts the Astros last in the American League West Division.

Jermaine Palacios was the walk-off hero for Houston. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Astros shortstop hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"It wasn't a pretty victory," said Palacios, "but we got it done."
