Astros 7, Braves 4

Chipper and Francoeur both go yard, but it's not enough as the Astro take the first game of the series in Houston 7-4. After their ninth 9th loss in 11 games, the Braves are now 8 games out of first and only a single game ahead of the Nationals. The only good news is that we could see Brian McCann back in the lineup tonight.
