Astros Topple Pirates, 11-8, as Escobar Shines
Yunel Escobar made an impact in the 11-8 Houston win over Pittsburgh. Escobar was 3-4 with a home run, 2 doubles, and was hit by a pitch. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Trevor Rosenthal, who led the NL in saves with 42 in 2014, nailed down the save. The win makes Houston 17-27.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the top of the eighth, with the game tied, Kyle Schwarber was at the plate when Houston scored 1 on an error. The miscue enabled the Astros to go in front, 9-8.

"There's a lot of passion in our clubhouse," said Escobar. "When we put it together we're a great ball club."
