Down to Defeat Goes Houston, 7-1
Jose Suarez brought his A-game to help Las Vegas defeat the Houston Astros, 7-1. Suarez, now 7-5, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 9, walking 2, and allowing 1 run. With the win, Las Vegas upped its record to 67-56.

Tyler Soderstrom had a big solo home run for the Athletics in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Las Vegas leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he sized up a slider from 25-year old right-handed pitcher Andrew Taylor and punished it. The result was his 34th home run of the season, which put the Athletics on top, 2-0.

"I had pretty good command out there," said Suarez.
