A benevolent official scorer perhaps kept the Los Angeles Angels from adding to their major-league-worst mark of 31 unearned runs allowed on Saturday, but regardless of any rendered decisions, the Houston Astros were keen to take advantage of the Angels' defense.
The host Astros won 9-6, buoyed by a five-run fourth inning that turned on a pair of misplays by the Angels, the first of which was a botched grounder by shortstop Livan Soto with one out.

Canning earned the 6-4 victory in his last start on Monday against the Chicago White Sox after working six innings and allowing three earned runs on six hits with nine strikeouts. He has won his last two starts after tossing seven scoreless innings at the Boston Red Sox on May 23 and was credited with the win in four of his last six appearances.
