The Astros, at 92-50, have a comfortable 15½-game lead in their division.

Alek Thomas chipped in a 3-run home run for Houston in the bottom of the sixth. For the game, the center fielder had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 runs batted in.

"It's the best feeling when you come through for your teammates," said Thomas.
