HOUSTON (AP) — Brian Bogusevic’s RBI single in the ninth inning lifted the Houston Astros to a 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night.
It was the first win this season for Houston in its last at-bat and breaks a five-game losing streak. It was Houston’s first walk-off win since last Sept. 26, according to STATS LLC.
The Astros won for the fifth time in 39 games. The only team since 1900 to lose at least 35 times in a 39-game span was the 1916 Philadelphia Athletics, who finished 36-117 under Hall of Fame manager Connie Mack, according to STATS.
Houston trailed 3-2 entering the ninth and the two runs meant the eighth blown save for John Axford (4-7).
