>>'Stros Shut Out Chicago

(Houston, TX)  --  Justin Maxwell's sac-fly in the third inning accounted for the game's lone run as the Astros shutout the Cubs, 1-0.  Jordan Lyles fanned five through five frames of two-hit ball to pick up the win.  Wilton Lopez registered his fourth save of the season for Houston, which has alternated wins and losses in its last six contests.  Justin Germano allowed one unearned run during five innings of duty to suffer the tough-luck loss for Chicago.  Cubs rookie first baseman Anthony Rizzo left the game in the top of the third inning with a sore neck and right shoulder after a collision at first base.  The Northsiders had won their last four games.

>>Rizzo Leaves After Collision

(Houston, TX)  --  Cubs rookie first baseman Anthony Rizzo left last night's game against the Astros after a collision at first base.  Rizzo ripped a grounder to second base, but a high throw caused first baseman Justin Maxwell to jump as Rizzo was crossing the bag.  It appeared that Rizzo hyperextended his left leg and was then struck in the left side of the head by Maxwell's foot.  The 23-year-old Rizzo stumbled and landed awkwardly and then remained motionless on the field for several minutes before he walked off the field with the help of two trainers.  He sustained soft-tissue soreness and is considered day-to-day.  Rizzo entered play batting .295 with 12 homers and 34 RBI this season.
