Framber Valdez, Houston Astros author 'special' day, striking out 20 in win over Los Angeles Angels

HOUSTON -- Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout finished 0-for-11 with nine strikeouts in a three-game series and Los Angeles hitters fanned 20 times, equaling a major league record, as the Houston Astros won 4-2 for a sweep on Sunday.

Rookie Jeremy Pena homered twice, capped by a two-run drive with two outs in the ninth inning off Ryan Tepera (1-2) to win it.

"To do it on a walk-off, it's unreal," Pena said. "It's always fun walking it off, you get the win ... and it's great.
