Houston Breaks Through for First Win in Round 1; Now Trails 2-1
The Houston Astros have closed some of the gap between themselves and the series-leading Minnesota Twins, winning, 9-2, at Target Field. Astros right-hander Andy Porter threw 6.2 innings of 3-hit ball. The win cuts the deficit facing the Astros to 2-1 in the best-of-7 Round 1.

Porter, a native of Little Rock, Arkansas, was dealing all game. He kept Minnesota hitters off-balance, while giving the Astros 6.2 quality innings. Porter threw 96 pitches, allowing 3 hits and striking out 9.

"Postseason wins taste oh so sweet," said Porter after the game.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Target Field in Minneapolis.
