Sam Miles earned his 19th save, after closing out the game.

Lawrence had a timely hit for Houston in the bottom of the eighth. With Houston trailing 2-1, he turned a 2-1 fastball into a 2-run home run. It was his 9th home run of the season, making it 3-2, Houston.

"There's a lot of good karma around our club," said winning manager Pat McCrory.
