The Houston Astros scored a convincing win at Minute Maid Park, defeating the Los Angeles Angels, 13-2.

Justin Verlander picked up the win with 6 innings of work. He allowed 1 run on 3 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 7. On the season, he is now 2-2. Houston has run its win streak to 5 straight.

With Houston leading 2-1 in the bottom of the fifth, Nootbaar hit a fastball from Elieser Hernandez for a 3-run home run. It was his 12th home run of the season and put the Astros ahead, 5-1.

"It's always fun to score a lot of runs," said Nootbaar.
