Astros Hold Off Cubs

Gerrit Cole struck out a dozen in six innings and the Astros survived a shaky ninth to beat the Cubs 6-5 in Houston. Yuli Gurriel had three hits, an RBI and scored a run for Houston, which has won three-of-four. Roberto Osuna gave up two solo homers in the ninth, but struck out Kyle Schwarber and Javier Baez to end the game and collect his 14th save. Anthony Rizzo, Albert Almora Jr. and Addison Russell homered for Chicago. Cole Hamels suffered his first loss of the season, yielding six runs in four frames. The Cubs have lost four-of-five.
