The Houston Astros went home winners at Minute Maid Park, thanks in large part to starter Daniel Espino. Espino stifled the Chicago Cubs, enabling Houston to grab the 8-0 win. The win puts Houston at 4-2.

Espino was the winner. He's now 1-0, after putting the Chicago offense in a vise grip. Over 8 innings, he gave up no runs on 1 hit, while racking up 7 Ks.

Houston manager Joe Turnage commended his team for "putting the pedal to the metal."
