Astros 4, Reds 3
HOUSTON — Hunter Pence hit a tiebreaking double in the ninth, and the Astros avoided a series sweep. Reds reliever Mike Leake walked J.R. Towles with one out in the ninth, then Pence's full-count hit landed in the rightfield corner and sent Towles home. Houston led 3-1 before Cincinnati tied it with consecutive homers by Chris Heisey and Drew Stubbs in the seventh.
