Victor Caratini homered, Isaac Paredes drove in a run and the Houston Astros shut out the Philadelphia Phillies for a second straight game with a 2-0 victory on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
Houston starter Colton Gordon (3-1) allowed four singles and struck out four in five innings. Josh Hader struck out one in the ninth for his 21st save.<\/p>\n
Jeremy Pe\u00f1a hit a leadoff ground-rule double and scored on a groundball single by Isaac Paredes to give Houston an early lead.<\/p>\n
Houston’s pitching staff had retired nine straight when Brandon Marsh singled to right field off Bryan King with one out in the eighth. Trea Turner’s single on a grounder to center field sent Marsh to third before Kyle Schwarber singled on an infield grounder to load the bases.<\/p>\n
But, King struck out Alec Bohm before Nick Castellanos grounded out to leave Philadelphia emptyhanded.<\/p>\n
Caratini’s solo shot came with two outs in the bottom of the inning to give the Astros an insurance run.<\/p>\n
Wednesday’s win comes after the Astros got a 1-0 victory in Tuesday’s series opener.<\/p>\n
Philadelphia starter Zack Wheeler (7-3) yielded four hits and a run while striking out eight in six innings.<\/p>\n
The Phillies had runners on first and second with one out in the fifth, but Gordon struck out Marsh and Turner to end the threat.<\/p>\n
Jake Meyers sprinted to make a catch on the warning track in center field on a ball hit by Bryson Stott for the second out of the seventh inning.<\/p>\n
