The boys bounce back: Astros win 6-5 in extras!

After a tough loss last night, the Astros bounced back to win a close game in extra innings. This was one of the more satisfying wins of the season, and hopefully, the team can keep the ball rolling.

Although the team played a great game, Cristian Javier was the one weak point. He allowed Rengifo a two-run homer in the top of the first on a slider that caught way too much of the plate. To his credit, he did not get blown up, only allowing two more runs over the next three innings, but that was probably due more to luck than skill.
