Tampa Bay Topples Houston, 7-4
The Tampa Bay Rays grabbed a win, 7-4, over the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. Tampa Bay second baseman Brandon Lowe went 2 for 4 with a home run and a triple. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. Houston is 5-2 after the defeat.

It could have been a different outcome for Tampa Bay, had it not been for Kevin Kiermaier, the slick-fielding center fielder . Kiermaier contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put Tampa Bay up, 1-0.

"I put some good swings on the ball," said Lowe.
