CHICAGO, Sept. 7 (UPI) -- Michael Bourn drove in three runs and Brett Wallace homered Tuesday in the Houston Astros' 7-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs.
Wallace's second-inning solo shot tied the game 2-2 and Bourn followed with a two-run double to give Houston the lead for good, helping the Astros even their three-game set with the Cubs at one win apiece.
Bourn added a sacrifice fly in the sixth and Jeff Keppinger drove in a pair of runs to back Nelson Figueroa (5-2), who yielded three runs on six over five innings to collect the win.
Cubs starter Carlos Silva (10-6) was activated before the game and made his first appearance in more than a month after landing on the disabled list due to a heart issue. He was roughed up for six runs on nine hits in five innings.
Tyler Colvin hit an RBI triple and drove in another run on a fielder's choice for Chicago.
