The home crowd had a good time watching the Los Angeles Angels and Houston Astros get after it.

Neil Walker was a vital contributor to the 9-1 Houston victory over Los Angeles. The Astros second baseman went 2 for 2 with 2 home runs and 2 walks. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Los Angeles drops to 9-10.

With Houston leading 2-0 in the bottom of the first, Walker hit a sinker from Sonny Gray for a 2-run home run. It was his 4th home run of the season and put the Astros ahead, 4-0.

"Good baseball players make you a smarter manager," said Houston manager Craig Puckett.
