On Monday Delino DeShields, Jr. went 3 for 3 with a 2-run home run but the Astros lost to Atlanta, 8-3.

Asher Wojciechowski was the losing pitcher. Wojo lasted just 3 innings and allowed 5 runs on 7 hits.

Also on Monday, the Astros claimed RP Matt Albers off waivers from the Oakland Athletics and placed RP Bruce Rondon on outright assignment waivers.

Albers was traded to the A's just over a week ago as part of a six-player deal that brought Scott Kazmir and Luke Gregerson to Houston.





The Astros lost their fourth in a row on Tuesday, falling 2-1 to Washington.

Brett Oberholtzer allowed a run on 5 hits in 5 innings but did not factor in the decision as Gregerson took the L out of the bullpen.
