Dubon hit a two-run home run as a pinch hitter in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Pirates.
Dubon hit for Jon Singleton in the sixth inning and took Pirates reliever Colin Holderman deep to give the Astros their first lead of the game. It proved to be the difference Wednesday.

The utility man is slashing .270/.294/.390 with four homers, 33 RBI, 36 runs scored, two stolen bases and 19 doubles over 274 plate appearances this year.
