Lachlan Madden never let the Firebirds get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his changeup, to pitch the Astros to a win, 3-0. Madden yielded no runs over 6.2 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 2, and struck out 4. His record improves to 7-7. Jesús Mejía notched his 18th save in 23 chances.

Steve Sweet had a direct impact on the outcome. Sweet contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the fourth inning to put Houston up, 2-0.

"I made some pitches when I had to," said Madden.

The 4th-place Firebirds have lost 4 consecutive games.
