Astros Collect 5-3 Win Over Pirates
The Houston Astros took Andy Shibilo's best shot and still were able to collect a win at Minute Maid Park. The final score had Houston getting past the Pirates, 5-3, in 10 innings. Shibilo over 7.1 innings allowed 1 run on 7 hits, while striking out 6. Felix Leon snagged the win in relief. He goes to 2-0 on the season. Andrew Mallory suffered the loss. Houston has an impressive 91-41 record.

Houston got a knockout punch from Will Ford. The designated hitter hammered a 2-run home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"I still think this team can play even better," Ford told the Houston Daily.
