Astros beat Angels 6-3 in opener of double-header caused by Hurricane Laura

The storm was expected to make landfall on the Gulf Coast either Wednesday night or Thursday morning.

This was just the second twinbill in the history of Minute Maid Park, a stadium with a retractable roof that opened in 2000. The Astros played a doubleheader against the Mets in 2017 following Hurricane Harvey.

Jack Mayfield’s two-run single capped a five-run first inning for Houston.
