Odorizzi had a clear improvement from his first start against Boston last week, in which he barely stayed on the mound for three innings in what was the Red Sox’s only win over Houston this season. Nathan Eovaldi (7-3) worked 5 2/3 innings, in which he allowed five runs and 11 hits, his highest number of the season, with five strikeouts. The loss snapped a three-game win streak for the starter. Trailing 2-0, the Astros got on the scoreboard in the second inning when Kyle Tucker scored on Myles Straw’s double.

Altuve tied the score in the third inning by depositing Eovaldi’s fastball behind the left-field fence for his 10th home run of the season. Houston added three more to take the lead, scoring on Yordan Alvarez’s RBI double, Yuli Gurriel’s ground double and Michael Brantley’s single. For the Astros, Cubans Yordan Álvarez 4-2 with one RBI and one scored; Yulieski Gurriel 5-2 with one produced and one scored. Venezuelan José Altuve 6-1 with one produced and one scored.
