Astros Notes:
Sean 'The Big Dog' scattered 4 hits and walked just 3 batters over 5 innings, and his Astro teammates played solid defense, pegging 2 Diamondback runners at the plate in the early going to keep the game close while the offense found their stride. Spencer W. cleared the loaded bases with a double that broke open a close game in the 4th inning, scoring Yonnas, Eddy and Kani, and a late inning double by Patrick as well as triples by Spencer and A-Ron kept the pressure on the D'backs. Griffen stepped up and took over 3rd base duties, as Daniel was ailing. Spencer closed out the game striking out 3 over the last 2 innings.
