Hunter Brown carried a shutout bid into the seventh inning and benefited from ample run support as the Houston Astros recorded nine extra-base hits and rolled to a 17-4 victory over the visiting Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday.
Yainer Diaz, Jose Abreu, Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman and Yordan Alvarez all homered for the Astros, the latter three doing so in the bottom of the seventh inning off Rays reserve catcher Rene Pinto. But Houston held a nine-run lead before things got silly in that frame, as Chas McCormick, Diaz and Jake Meyers all posted multi-hit games from the bottom third of the order.
Bradley departed after he walked Meyers to load the bases with one out in the fourth. He allowed five runs on three hits and four walks with four strikeouts in 3 1/3 innings.The Astros then teed off against Pinto, with Altuve following Meyers' double with his seventh home run of the season. Bregman and Alvarez later went back-to-back, both notching their 18th home run. Pinto surrendered five runs on five hits in his lone inning.
