Game Summary
Houston defeated San Diego 6-3 as Houston’s offense produced timely power and its bullpen shut the door. Cam Smith went 3-for-4 with two homers, three runs and two RBIs, while Christian Walker’s two-run single in the third ignited a multi-run burst that gave Houston an early cushion. Jeremy Peña added an insurance run in the eighth on a groundout that scored Smith. Bryan Abreu worked 1.1 scoreless innings with two strikeouts and was credited with the win, and Josh Hader closed out a clean ninth. San Diego got a Jackson Merrill triple and a Fernando Tatis Jr. homer but Robbie Ray allowed four runs over five innings and struggled with five walks, leaving his club unable to rally.
