Diamondbacks 6, Astros 4: Bullpen squanders lead

No bueno.

Everyone was riding high in Houston. Carlos Gomez was in uniform for the first time. The Astros had swept the Angels and help a two-game lead over the Angels in the American League West.

Even after the Diamondbacks jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the second, the good time continued to roll for the Astros. Thursday's hero, Jason Castro, hit a second three-run home run in as many nights.

Luis Valbuena and Marwin Gonzalez singled to lead off the fifth inning.
