Agada, acquired in a trade with Minnesota in April, opened the scoring with his first goal for RSL. Agada's header, off a corner kick played in by Pablo Ruiz, was blocked by defender Franco Escobar but Agada — off the rebound — bounced in a half-volley from the center of the area.
Jonathan Bond stopped for shots for the Dynamo. Houston (7-10-5) had won back-to-back games for just the second time this season.
RSL beat the Dynamo 2-1 in Houston on March 15.

Rafael Devers starts at first base and helps Giants beat Braves 9-0 to snap 6-game skid
ATLANTA (AP) — Rafael Devers was error free in his first career start at first base and added two hits and an RBI as the San Francisco Giants snapped a season-worst six-game skid with a 9-0 win over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night. Devers was traded from Boston to the Giants in June after his relationship with management deteriorated less than two years into a 10-year, $313.5 million contract he signed in 2023. The Red Sox signed Gold Glove third baseman Alex Bregman during spring training and asked Devers to move to designated hitter. He balked before agreeing, but when Boston first baseman Triston Casas suffered a season-ending injury, he was approached about playing the position and he declined. San Francisco starter Landen Roupp (7-6) gave up four hits and a walk with six strikeouts in five scoreless innings. The Giants have won five of Roupp's last six starts. Casey Schmitt hit a solo homer off Davis Daniel (0-1) to highlight San Francisco's four-run second inning. Devers doubled to lead off the fifth and scored on a single by Willy Adames to make it 5-0. Devers added an RBI single before Wilmer Flores hit a three-run home run in the seventh. Matt Olson had three hits and Michael Harris II added two for the Braves. Sean Hjelle and Joey Lucchesi each pitched an inning before Carson Seymour worked the eighth and ninth and. Four Giants pitchers combined for 14 strikeouts. Key moment Adames drew a leadoff walk in the second and Chapman followed with an RBI triple and scored on a sacrifice fly by Flores. After Schmitt's homer, Bailey doubled and later scored on a sac fly by Heliot Ramos to give the Giants a 4-0 lead. Key stat Giants manager Bob Melvin has 1,650 career wins, tied with Mike Scioscia for 20th on MLB's all-time list. Buck Showalter is 19th with 1,726 wins. Up next San Francisco RHP Justin Verlander (0-8, 4.99 ERA) is scheduled to pitch Wednesday against Atlanta RHP Spencer Strider (4-7, 3.59) . ___ AP MLB:

Ben Rice hits tiebreaking home run in ninth inning, Yankees beat Blue Jays 5-4
TORONTO (AP) — Ben Rice hit a tiebreaking home run in the ninth inning, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Cody Bellinger also homered and the New York Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 on Tuesday. Rice connected off Blue Jays closer Jeff Hoffman (6-3) for his 15th home run as the Yankees snapped a five-game losing streak against Toronto. Ian Hamilton (2-1) got one out for the win and Devin Williams finished for his 15th save in 16 chances. Addison Barger had two hits and George Springer reached base four times but Toronto's franchise-record home winning streak ended at 11 games. New York led 4-2 before a throwing error by Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe opened the door to a game-tying rally in the sixth. The error was Volpe's 13th, tying him for most in the majors. It was his second error in two games. Pinch hitter Myles Straw reached on Volpe's error and scored when pinch hitter Davis Schneider doubled off left-hander Tim Hill. Jonathan Loáisiga came on to face George Springer, who drove in Schneider with a game-tying single. Making his second career start, Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler allowed two runs and seven hits in five innings. He walked three and struck out three. Toronto's Max Scherzer allowed four runs and five hits in five innings. New York jumped out to an early lead when Chisholm hit a three-run homer off Scherzer in the first, his 18th. Barger hit a two-out RBI single in the bottom of the first, but Bellinger's one-out blast in the fifth, his 18th, made it 4-1. Key moment Rice hit a 389-foot homer on the first pitch he saw from Hoffman. Key stat Schlittler's fastest pitch of the game was clocked at 99.5 mph, one of four he threw above 99 mph. Up next Yankees LHP Max Fried (11-3, 2.43 ERA) is expected to start against Blue Jays RHP Chris Bassitt (10-4, 3.89) in Wednesday's series finale. ___ AP MLB:

Alvarez's homer helps Mets come back to beat Angels again, 3-2
NEW YORK (AP) — Francisco Alvarez hit a tying homer in his second game back from the minors and Ryne Stanek retired Mike Trout with two runners aboard for the final out as the New York Mets rallied to beat the Los Angeles Angels 3-2 on Tuesday night. Brandon Nimmo capped a three-run fifth inning with a go-ahead single, and Frankie Montas (3-1) won his third straight start. Juan Soto threw out a runner at home plate from right field in the first, denying Trout his 999th career RBI. After overcoming a four-run deficit in Monday night's series opener, New York won its third in a row. Nolan Schanuel had a career-high four hits for the Angels, including an RBI double. Jorge Soler launched a solo homer, and Logan O'Hoppe finished with three hits. Angels starter Kyle Hendricks (5-7) allowed only a pop-fly single through 4 2/3 innings before unraveling as the Mets banged out four consecutive hits. Brett Baty doubled before Alvarez connected for his fourth homer this season and first at Citi Field. Ronny Mauricio singled, stole second and scored on Nimmo's single to give New York a 3-2 lead. Rico Garcia and Reed Garrett combined for 2 1/3 scoreless innings in relief before Stanek worked the ninth for his third save. With star closer Edwin Díaz receiving a rest, Stanek got Trout on a weak popup to first base to end it. Montas settled in after a rocky start and walked off the mound to a warm ovation after 5 2/3 innings. He permitted two runs and eight hits, striking out six. Key moment After a run-scoring double by Schanuel put the Angels ahead 2-0 in the fifth, they had runners at second and third with one out. Montas whiffed Trout, walked cleanup hitter Taylor Ward to load the bases and retired Jo Adell on a deep fly to center, ending the inning. Key stats Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts and is hitless in his last 30 at-bats — the longest drought of his career. He went 0 for 27 late in the 2016 season with Cleveland. ... Soto set a career high with his 13th stolen base. Up next Mets LHP Sean Manaea (0-1, 2.45 ERA) pitches in a Wednesday matinee. Los Angeles had not announced a scheduled starter and might go with a bullpen game. ___ AP MLB:
