Titans Deal Explorers 3-2 Loss
The Houston Titans converted a terrific effort from starter Luis Castillo into a win over the Chicago Explorers at Baron's Ballyard. The Titans won the game by a final score of 3-2. Houston leads the Union League Central Division by 7 games.

Brandon Nimmo delivered a big hit for Houston. The left fielder drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Titans ahead, 3-1. It was his only hit, but it was a beauty.

"We came out on top and that's all I can ask for," said Castillo.
