Yusei Kikuchi secured his fourth win since joining the Houston Astros, pitching six innings in an 11-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Despite allowing four runs and two home runs, Kikuchi's performance improved his record to 4-0 with a 3.07 ERA for the Astros, highlighting his effectiveness since being traded from the Toronto Blue Jays. The Astros' offense provided significant support, with Jeremy Peña hitting a three-run homer during a key six-run inning. Houston remains atop the AL West, showcasing resilience despite a shaky start to the season. Kikuchi's recent success has led to a re-evaluation of the trade that initially drew criticism, indicating his potential impact in the postseason. Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks continue to struggle, losing their third consecutive game.
