J-Up's 2 HRs can't save Angels in 6th straight L

HOUSTON -- Evan Gattis delivered the big blast, Carlos Correa reached base four times and Marwin Gonzalez added three hits -- two doubles -- to back up Charlie Morton's efficient pitching in the Astros' 6-2 win Saturday at Minute Maid Park, sending the Angels to their sixth straight loss.

Gattis' three-run homer to left capped a four-run fifth inning off Angels reliever Eduardo Paredes that broke the game open. Gattis' 12th homer of the season had an exit velocity of 103 mph with a launch angle of 30 degrees, according to Statcast™.
