Bourn has 2-run triple in 10th-inning, lifts Astros to 6-3 win over Padres
Michael Bourn hit a two-run triple in the 10th inning, leading the Houston Astros to a 6-3 win over the San Diego Padres on Thursday night.
Luke Gregerson (2-3) walked Humberto Quintero and Oswaldo Navarro with two outs before Bourn tripled to center field to break a 3-all tie. Jeff Keppinger, who had three RBIs, then singled home Bourn.
Gregerson had walked only four batters in 39 1-3 innings coming in to Thursday's game.
It was Houston's sixth win in nine games after having dropped nine of 10. NL West-leading San Diego has lost three of four.
Chris Sampson (1-0) pitched a perfect ninth for the win. Matt Lindstrom got three outs for his 19th save in 23 chances.
