Titans Top Stars in Extras, 5-4
Luis Castillo, who is tied for 2nd in the UL in complete games with 1, propelled his team to victory over the Cincinnati Stars. The final score was 5-4, Houston. Orion Kerkering, credited with the save, is now 26 for 33 in save opportunities. With the win, Houston upped its record to 85-61.

Houston used a timely hit from Jared Young to get the win. The first baseman stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the tenth inning to put the Titans ahead, 5-4. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"Always feels extra good winning this kind of game," said Castillo.
