Craig Genualdo earned his second win of the season throwing the complete game while allowing just six hits and two earned runs. The reds scored six runs in the third inning on four Astros' errors.
Tyler Walsh was the hero at the plate for the 'Stros. In the bottom of the sixth inning, he belted a three-run homer to tie the game at seven. The 'Stros went down 9-7 in the top of the seventh, but it was Walsh who came through again in the bottom half.

Astros 15, Marlins 12

He was one of six Astros with multiple hits in the game, including Tim Clark, the offensive star of the game (2-for-4, 3RBI, 2R), Matt Cronin (2-4, 2RBI , R), Nate Kenyon (2-3, 2RBI, 2R), and Tony Ricupero (2-3, 2R).
