Hunter Brown first to 8 wins after allowing 1 hit in 6 innings as Astros beat Rays 1-0
June 1, 2025
Hunter Brown allowed one hit in six innings to become the first eight-game winner in the majors, and the Houston Astros edged the Tampa Bay Rays 1-0 to split a four-game series. Josh Hader earned his 15th save for the Astros, who scored an unearned run in the first. Jeremy Peña reached on a fielding error by third baseman Junior Caminero and scored on Christian Walker’s two-out single off Taj Bradley. Houston reliever Bryan King retired two batters and permitted the only other Tampa Bay hit. Bryan Abreu got four outs to set up Hader. Brown didn’t give up a hit until Josh Lowe singled leading off the sixth. The right-hander then struck Brandon Lowe before ending his outing with a double play.
