Astros Deal Braves 8-5 Loss
The 8-5 Houston win over Atlanta was due largely to Billy Hamilton. The Astros center fielder was 4 for 6 with a double, 3 singles, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. The win belongs to T.J. McFarland in relief. His record improves to 5-6. Adam Plutko took the loss for Atlanta. The Astros now have a record of 74-88 with the win over Atlanta.

The outcome might have been different for Houston, had it not been for Tyrone Taylor, the 26-year old right fielder . Taylor stroked a 2-run single in the top of the 14th inning to put Houston up, 7-5. For the game, he was 3 for 7, including 1 double and 2 singles.

In postgame comments, Taylor said he was glad to contribute to an exciting win.
