Arquimedes Gamboa was instrumental in his team's 7-5 triumph over the Houston Astros. The shortstop was 2-3 with a double and 2 walks, while scoring 2 for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Max Fried, the winner, goes to 5-4. He allowed 4 runs on 9 hits, with 1 walk and 3 strikeouts over 5.2 innings. After today's action, Pittsburgh sits at 47-26; Houston slips to 29-43.

Pittsburgh won the game in part because of José Pérez. The catcher ripped a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Pirates ahead, 5-2. For the game, Pérez had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Pittsburgh manager Jose Mijares.
