Astros Win at Chicago, 3-2
Houston Astros starter Ramon Molina pitched his team past the Chicago Cubs, 3-2. Molina went 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 5, and struck out 5. His record improves to 1-3. The Astros, with only their 8th win in 29 games, could be the worst team in the league.

Houston took a 3-1 lead on Zail Smith's 16th home run of the season. The solo home run, which Smith hit in the top of the eighth, left Chicago pitcher Shikato Ueda visibly frustrated.

"Every loss hurts," said Chicago manager Jeff Griggs. "But this was a tough one."
