Los Angeles. The Houston Astros blanked the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-0 in a game where Mexican Isaac Paredes hit a two-run home run in the ninth inning.
The 26-year-old player thus broke out of a slump that has seen him get two hits in his last 26 at-bats.
However, the Hermosillo native remains on track for one of his best seasons in the majors with 12 home runs and 34 RBIs in his first 59 games of 2025.
Houston improved its record to 33 wins and 27 losses and is in second place in the American League West.
In other results, the New York Yankees defeated the Cleveland Guardians 3-2 thanks to a home run by Anthony Volpe.
The victory was led by Carlos Rodón, who pitched seven complete innings, allowing five hits and one run.
Dominican Ketel Marte hit a pair of home runs in the Arizona Diamondbacks' resounding 8-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves.
