Houston Hands Cincinnati 8-1 Loss
The Houston Astros moved to within one game of the League Championship Series, downing the visiting Cincinnati Reds at Minute Maid Park by a score of 8-1. Astros right-hander Edwin Romero had a strong outing in which he threw 6.0 innings of 2-hit ball. The win gives the Astros a 2-0 advantage in the best-of-5 Division Series.

Romero was dominant for Houston. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits, while racking up 8 strikeouts. He threw 94 pitches over 6 innings in the contest.

"The only difference is executing pitches and not executing pitches," said Romero. "When you don't execute, you get beat. When you execute, you usually give your team a chance to win."

Game 3 is scheduled for Saturday at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati.
