Two mistakes came in Martin's debut that cost him the two earned runs. A solo home run by Isiah Kiner-Falefa, and a walk to Shin-Soo Choo would eventually score after Collin McHugh cashed in the run in relief. Overall a well crafted outing on just 80 total pitches.
George Springer started the game for the offense with his fifth leadoff home run of the season and went 5-for-5 with three singles and two home runs in his ninth career multi-home run game. Alex Bregman followed with his third career multi-homer game, and second of the season while going 3-for-5. Other hot bats included Carlos Correa's three-hit day, and Tony Kemp going 3-for-5 with a triple.
Springer also became the first player in Astros history with five hits and to score five runs in a game.
The Astros have won eight of their last nine games and remain undefeated at home against the Rangers. They also finished the seven-game home stand with just one loss. It was also their fifth sweep of the season.
