Diamondbacks Take Down Astros, 4-3
Arizona Diamondbacks starter Pedro Solano pitched a strong game against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park, leading the Diamondbacks to victory, 4-3. Arizona reliever Levi Cole picked up the win, upping his record to 4-0. Diego Alicea shouldered the loss. Arizona currently is in third place in the National League West at 66-56.

Arizona used the clutch hitting of Sebastian Matos to capture the win. The designated hitter drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Diamondbacks ahead, 4-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

Matos told a Arizona Daily News reporter that he was "very satisfied" with the win.
