Isaac Paredes carried Houston's offense, producing the Astros' early lead and adding to it later. Ketel Marte kept Arizona within reach with a tying home run, while Lars Nootbaar also helped fuel the comeback.

Isaac Paredes' line-drive single brought Yainer Diaz and Taylor Trammell across in the third. Geraldo Perdomo's sacrifice fly brought Tim Tawa home in the fifth, and Paredes' later single sent Jeremy Peña across. Lars Nootbaar's double brought Tawa home in the seventh, before Ketel Marte's home run tied the game in the eighth. In the extra inning, Gabriel Moreno's single brought Ildemaro Vargas home and gave Arizona the lead.

Houston's relief work kept the game close, but the Astros could not answer after Moreno's hit. Jonathan Loaisiga earned the win, and Brandyn Garcia recorded the save for Arizona.

Arizona extended its winning streak, while Houston's extra-inning loss continued a difficult stretch. The game turned on a late rally rather than a single dominant stretch, with the Diamondbacks finding the final opening.
