Friday night, the Astros offense took a 7-0 lead over the Cubs after scoring four runs in the third inning and three more in the seventh, winning the first game 7–4. Six of the Astros’ seven runs in the victory came from home homers and three-run drives by outfielder Cam Smith and catcher Yainer Diaz. While closer Josh Hader had to save Houston’s middle relievers with his 22nd save of the season, starter Brandon Walter had a strong start, giving up five base runners and one run in six innings while striking out five.
