He gave up no runs on 4 hits. He now sports a record of 4-4. Adrian Fagnani was called on to finish, recording his 1st save.

Making an impact for the home team was Mark Sisson. In the bottom of the eighth, the 1970 Most Valuable Player Award winner had a run-scoring ground out. That made the score 2-0, Drillers.

"We'll enjoy this win for now, but it's just one," Castro told local reporters. "We've got to keep it going."

Houston has run its win streak to 6 in a row.
