The Houston Astros defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 6-5 on Tuesday night, with three home runs powering the visitors to victory. Christian Walker, Cam Smith, and Daulton Varsho each homered in the win, per ESPN.
The Astros struck early, with Varsho doubling to open the second inning before Yanier Diaz singled and Walker homered to center field, according to Yahoo Sports. The game tightened down the stretch, becoming what one headline called "a nail-biter," with 39,262 fans in attendance.
The Phillies' loss came despite keeping the game competitive late. The Good Phight attributed the defeat to Philadelphia's defensive mistakes, noting the team "probably should have been blown out" given how poorly they played for most of the game. Andrew Painter took the loss for the Phillies, though the reporting available does not detail his performance.
