Carlos Rodon, the winning pitcher, is now 4-4. He went 6 innings, allowing 2 runs on 7 hits, while fanning 2 and walking 2. Tyler Duffey got the save, his 12th in 17 chances.

With Houston leading 1-0 in the top of the third, Morrison hit a sinker from Dustin May for a 2-run home run. It was his 6th home run of the season and put the Astros ahead, 3-0.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Morrison.
