ATLANTA — \u2014 Hunter Brown<\/a> gave up two runs in 6 2\/3 innings and the Houston Astros<\/a> jumped on Atlanta right-hander Bryce Elder<\/a> early to beat the Braves 6-2 on Saturday night. <\/p>\n

The Astros began the night tied for first place in the AL West with Seattle.<\/p>\n

Christian Walker<\/a> hit a two-run homer 431 feet to center field in Houston’s three-run third. Yainer Diaz<\/a> had three hits for the Astros, who led 6-0 after three innings.<\/p>\n

Brown (12-7) allowed only four hits as his ERA rose slightly from 2.25 to 2.27, just behind American League leader Tarik Skubal<\/a> (2.26) of the Detroit Tigers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Matt Olson<\/a>‘s fourth-inning homer off Brown reached the second deck of the right-field stands, carrying 424 feet.<\/p>\n

Right-hander Enyel De Los Santos<\/a>, who began the season with Atlanta, relieved Brown with two outs in the seventh and gave up Ha-Seong Kim<\/a>‘s run-scoring single before striking out Michael Harris II<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Astros rookie left fielder Zach Cole had one walk and two strikeouts and was held without a hit. Cole drove in four runs on three hits, including a homer on the first pitch he saw in the majors, during his debut in Friday night’s 11-3 win<\/a> over the Braves. <\/p>\n

Ram\u00f3n Ur\u00edas replaced Astros second baseman Jose Altuve<\/a>, who left with right foot discomfort in the third inning. Altuve remained in the Houston dugout.<\/p>\n

Key moment <\/p>\n

Jeremy Pe\u00f1a’s two-run double to left field was the big hit in Houston’s three-run second. The Astros added three runs on five hits in the third.<\/p>\n

Key stat <\/p>\n

Elder (7-10) allowed six runs on 10 hits and three walks in 4 1\/3 innings. He had a 1.37 ERA in his previous four starts and had won his last three decisions.<\/p>\n

Up next <\/p>\n

The Astros complete their nine-game trip Sunday when LHP Framber Valdez<\/a> (12-9, 3.42 ERA) faces Atlanta LHP Joey Wentz<\/a> (5-6, 5.82).<\/p>\n
