The Astros pulled out a series win despite losing another important offensive cog to injury early in the game, winning 3-2 in extra innings thanks to yet another Jeremy Pena late inning game winning hit and a shut down, six-out relief effort by Ryan Pressly to preserve the win.
The Astros started auspiciously with two runs in the first inning. It would be the only runs they would score in regulation.
It started with Jose Altuve being hit by a pitch by Angels starter Reid Detmer followed by a walk to Jeremy Pena. Altuve scored on a Kyle Tucker single and Pena scored on an Aledmys Diaz groundout.
