The Houston 1980 Astros claimed a close win over the Tampa Bay 2013 Rays, due in large part to Joe Niekro. The Houston 1980 right-hander pitched a great game to secure the 2-1 win. Dave Smith picked up his 10th save of the season. At 25-13, the Astros are currently first in the American League West Division.

Houston 1980 used the timely hitting of Denny Walling to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Astros on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We found a way to win tonight," Walling said.
