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.

Hunter Brown allowed one hit and recorded his fifth scoreless start of the season, and the Houston Astros earned a split of their four-game series with the visiting Tampa Bay Rays with a 1-0 victory on Sunday.

The last pitch of a laborious outing spun in unlike any before it. Hunter Brown rarely throws his slider to left-handed hitters. The Tampa Bay Rays stacked six in the lineup he faced Sunday at Daikin Park.
