Coper Hummel spoiled an old-fashioned pitchers’ duel last night with a solo home run in the bottom of the eighth inning as the Astros won, 1-0. Framber Valdez combined with Bryan Abreu and Josh Hader on the four-hit shutout of the Phillies.

Astros SP Colton Gordon allows a lot of loud contact, surrendering six or more hits in five of seven outings while allowing eight total home runs. The Phillies will make him pay for his mistakes in the strike zone early and often.
