Paredes (1-0) was credited with the win in Thursday's 10-8 victory over the Rockies. He worked around a walk in a scoreless inning.
In a slugfest at Coors Field, Houston starter Cristian Javier didn't last the five innings necessary to qualify for the win. Three relievers preceded Paredes, but the official scorer determined he was the best of that crew and he was given the win. The 24-year-old right-hander has pitched well out of the Astros' bullpen, posting a 2.45 ERA over 11 innings while not being hurt by the seven walks he's issued.
