Astros Bang Out 8-4 Win Versus Seattle
Houston Astros starter Gerrit Cole was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the Seattle Mariners, 8-4. In 6 innings, Cole surrendered 3 hits, while striking out 8 and walking 2. He allowed 4 runs. With the win, Houston upped its record to 18-16.

It could have been a different outcome for Houston, had it not been for Dominic Smith, the 24-year old first baseman . Smith contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the first inning to put Houston up, 2-0.

"I liked his command," said Houston manager Craig Puckett. "Gerrit was throwing strikes."
