Yandi Diaz went with three RBI to 2-for-5, including four domestic runs for Tampa Bay rays in his 8–4 victory on Houston Astro on Wednesday.

Astros Starter Hunter Brown (6-3) allowed five runs on seven hits in five innings, and Isaac Paradees adopted twice and scored three runs.
Houston, after cutting Tampa Bay’s lead 5-4 at the top of the eighth innings, Diaz added insurance to the bottom, mashed a three-run shot 435 feet to keep the Reluver Forest Whitley at the center to make the reliever forest whirlpool 8-4.
The rays broke the tie 2–2 at the bottom of the fourth when Curtis Mead knocked the first pitch on the center-field wall to give the host a 3–2 lead.
He extended it with a back-to-back home run in the fifth. Josh Lowe carried it 4–2 to go to the center with a single shot and Brandon Lov extended it 5–2 with one right center.
Houston struggled to go from another through the seventh, managing just three hits and walking once.
Astro broke the eighth position of Reluver Edwin Usate to make it a run game. The Mauricio Dubone is attached to a drive that jumped over the wall in the center and cut it 5-3 in seats.
The second home run of the game of Paredes went into the left-center field to narrow it 5-4.
Astro took a 2–0 lead when with Jeremy Pena, Paradees mashed a fastball on the left area wall.
Tampa tied it in half the bottom. Diaz sung and Josh went to second place on Lov’s fly out. Jonathan Aranda sang through intervals to the left to bring it to Diaz and cut it 2–1, and moved to second place on Duban’s fielding error.
Chandler Simpson left Arranda one. The throw of the dabon in the plate missed the mark and Arnda easily crossed it 2–2.
