Jose Altuve, who went 1 for 4 to extend his hitting streak to 14 games, was walked intentionally. Abad then walked Dexter Fowler on a full count to force in the winning run. "I struggled as much as I could to make pitches. I just couldnt do it," said Cook, who got the nod because Eric OFlaherty was unavailable due to a back issue. "Theres no excuse. I have to be able to make pitches and I couldnt do it. Its as simple as that." Tony Sipp got the first two outs in the bottom half, and Josh Fields struck out Josh Donaldson for his third save.
