Astros Edge Past Cubs, 7-6
The Houston Astros defeated the Chicago Cubs, 7-6, at Minute Maid Park 2000-2016. Leading the charge for Houston was third baseman Martin Prado. He went 2-4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4. Houston, now 11-3, is playing great baseball to start the year.

The decisive blow was delivered by Jacoby Ellsbury in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 31-year old right-handed pitcher Jose Ceda to win the game for Houston. The home crowd went nuts.

"Nothing is scripted in this game," said Prado.
