Houston trailed 5-3 before it scored twice in the seventh to tie. Correa led off the inning by going to deep to left center and Abraham Toro’s RBI double evened it.

Astros manager Dusty Baker needed a strong outing from Ramirez because his bullpen was spent. He got it as the left-hander went seven-plus innings before tiring. Ramirez gave up 11 hits and eight runs with two walks and two strikeouts.

Barria allowed three hits and three runs to the first six batters before settling down. The right-hander retired 12 of the final 13 batters he faced with the lone runner getting aboard on a walk to start the fourth. Barria struck out six and walked two.

It was 106 degrees at first pitch, marking the second straight day the team’s played in triple-digit heat. It was 109 degrees for Saturday’s first game, making it the hottest start to a game in Angel Stadium history.

It is the eighth game to start with triple-digit temperatures since the ballpark opened in 1966. Five have happened the first week of September.

Astros: P Lance McCullers, Jr. was placed on the injured list due to neck nerve irritation. The right-hander started Friday’s game but was pulled after 21 pitches. The move is retroactive to Saturday. … 3B Alex Bregman (right hamstring discomfort) is unlikely to come off the injured list during the upcoming series at Oakland. Baker said they want to make sure Bregman can come back and play regularly before activating him.
