He left the game after he began the eighth by giving up a triple to Eric Sogard and a double to Stephen Vogt.Houston used four pitchers to escape the eighth inning with Josh Fields recording the final out. Fields also worked a perfect ninth for his third save.Sonny Gray (2-3), making his sixth start of the year, took the loss after giving up three runs on seven hits in eight innings.
