HOUSTON – Jimmy Paredes singled and scored an unearned run in the third inning, and the Houston Astros beat the Cubs, 1-0, on Tuesday night.

It was an otherwise tough night for the second baseman, who committed three errors. Paredes has started the last three games at second base with All-Star Jose Altuve out with an abdominal strain.

Houston starter Jordan Lyles (4-11) scattered two hits and struck out five in five innings and five relievers completed the shutout. Wilton Lopez allowed two hits in a scoreless ninth for his fourth save.
