No one was more impactful than Josh McCoy in the 5-4 Houston win over Tampa Bay. McCoy, who is on pace to hit 41 home runs this season, was 1 for 5 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The Astros saw their record improve to 69-60.

In the top of the first, McCoy pounced on a full count fastball from Jon Norman and hit a grand slam home run. It put Houston on top, 4-0.

"You get some opportunities, you better take advantage of them," said Tampa Bay manager Tony Mansolino.
