Astros Drop Angels, 2-1
The Houston Astros got a magnificent effort from pitcher Reynaldo Lopez, who kept Los Angeles hitters in check en route to a 2-1 Astros win at Minute Maid Park. Josh Hader, who is a seven-time All-Star, nailed down the save. The Astros, now 16-8, have played some good baseball in the early going.

With scoring opportunities rare, the Astros had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the fourth, when second baseman Brice Matthews hit a run-scoring single. The single came off Ryan Johnson and made the score 1-0, Astros. Matthews was 1 for 4.

"Watch and learn," said Matthews. "This is what good pitching looks like."
