Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Matt Dominguez's two-run single in the seventh inning proved to be difference, as the Houston Astros held on to beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 7-6, on Sunday afternoon.

Justin Maxwell had doubled in a pair of runs in front of Dominguez, whose base hit put Houston up by three. Domonic Brown plated two with a double in the eighth for Philadelphia, but Wilton Lopez worked out of trouble in the ninth, getting Carlos Ruiz on a game-ending groundout with two men aboard for his sixth save of the season.
