Coasrt tossed two hitless, scoreless frames, inducing four ground ball outs, which is a great sign. Williams got hit around a little, and he was only saved by the Schreefer baserunning blunder when he tried unsuccessfully to stretch a double to a triple with no one out. Collectively, the pitchers only walked two and had seven K's. The offense was very efficient, parlaying nine hits and five free passes into seven runs. All in all, a good effort from the Astros.
