Astros Lose to Diamondbacks, 9-8
The Houston Astros got a superb performance from pitcher Robbie Ray, but the Arizona Diamondbacks still won the game, 9-8. Ray was named the player of the game despite the loss. He threw 5 innings of 3-hit ball. Arizona reliever Zach Petrick was the winner. His record is now 2-1. Tony Zych took the loss. The third-place Astros have lost 4 straight games.

Had Ben Zobrist not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Zobrist hit a grand slam. That made the score 9-8, in favor of the Diamondbacks.

"Baseball is about momentum," said Zobrist, "and we feel we've got it in our favor after that win."
