HOUSTON -- Astros first baseman Marwin Gonzalez wasn't trying to make up for what was nearly a disastrous baserunning gaffe only moments earlier, when he didn't run hard out of the box and reached first only after D-backs pitcher Daniel Hudson dropped the ball for an error to extend the inning.
With walk-off hero Jason Castro at the plate and a chance to win the game for the second straight night for the Astros, Gonzalez was eager to get into scoring position and wound up getting caught when he strayed too far from first, a play that punctuated the Astros' 6-4 loss to the D-backs at Minute Maid Park.
