Burleson’s hit made it 3-0 in the fifth inning and Arenado added an insurance run in the sixth after the Astros got within 1 in the bottom of the fifth. Mikolas allowed five hits and two runs in six innings for the win. Ryan Helsley pitched a perfect ninth for his 20th save. Ronel Blanco gave up Arenado’s homer and took the loss.
