Angels starter Hector Santiago held the Astros to one run and three hits in 6 1/3 innings, and C.J. Cron homered in the fourth to make it 2-0 before Correa hit a solo homer in the fifth -- his second in as many games -- to cut the lead to 2-1.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Left stranded: Mike Trout led off the sixth with a triple, after Springer came up short on a diving attempt for his blooper. But an Angels lineup that was without Albert Pujols -- taking a day off to rest a sore hamstring -- could not score him. Fill-in cleanup hitter Daniel Nava struck out for the third time, C.J. Cron hit a flair into Correa's glove and, after a walk by Jefry Marte, Johnny Giavotella grounded out. The missed opportunity came back to cost the Angels.
Correa moving up: Correa's homer was the 32nd of his career as a shortstop, which puts him second in club history for homers by a shortstop. Adam Everett holds the club record with 35. Correa's seven career homers against the Angels are his most against any team.
