Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Scott Moore slapped the game-winning single in the 10th inning to lift the Houston Astros over the Milwaukee Brewers, 6-5, in the middle test of a three-game series at Minute Maid Park.

Jim Henderson (0-1) returned to the mound for the 10th after tossing a perfect ninth and gave up a leadoff single to Jose Altuve.

Henderson then struggled to find the strike zone, issuing back-to-back walks to Marwin Gonzalez and Steve Pearce to load the bases. Moore stepped up next and ripped a high fastball into left field to give the Astros their first extra-inning win of the season.

Houston was 0-11 in extras entering Saturday's game.
