In a game played Monday night, the Pittsburgh Pirates overcame the Houston Astros by a score of 6-3. Pirates starter Paul Skenes pitched effectively, giving up just one earned run over six innings, but ultimately received a no-decision for his effort. The contest was tied late until Michael A. Taylor hit a crucial three-run home run in the ninth inning off Astros pitcher Josh Hader, which proved to be the difference in the Pirates' victory.
