Houston nearly took the lead in the ninth. Yordan Alvarez singled with two outs and Christian Walker followed with a double that appeared to score Alvarez. But the Angels challenged the safe call at home plate and it was overturned following a replay review.
Bryan Abreu (2-3) came on for the Astros in the 10th and pinch-hitter Donovan Walton hit a leadoff single that moved automatic runner Nick Madrigal from second base to third. Siri, facing one of his former teams, then hit an 0-2 pitch to left field to drive in Madrigal.
Ryan Zeferjahn (3-3) worked a scoreless inning for the win.
Trout launched his 15th homer to open the scoring in the first, and O'Hoppe's drive with two outs in the fifth made it 2-0.
Peter Lambert allowed two runs and five hits with six strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings for Houston.
Detmers permitted only one hit over seven innings. He struck out nine and walked none. The left-hander is third in the American League with 97 strikeouts and has given up three or fewer earned runs in eight of his last nine starts.
Alvarez extended his on-base streak to 17 games.
Houston begins a three-game series at Kansas City on Friday night.
Los Angeles hosts Tampa Bay in the opener of a three-game set Friday.

Susanna Tapani is staying put in Boston, and the Seattle Torrent re-signed forward Julia Gosling in opening the next phase of the PWHL’s expansion process on Wednesday.
Tapani is a four-time Olympian representing Finland and signed a two-year contract to return to the Fleet for a third season. Gosling made her Olympic debut representing Canada in February and also signed a two-year contract.
The Walter Cup champion Montreal Victoire re-signed defender Maggie Flaherty to a two-year contract. Vancouver retained two players by re-signing forward Jenn Gardiner to a three-year contract and forward Izzy Daniel to a two-year deal. Gardiner is from the Vancouver area and finished second on the team with 19 points (nine goals, 10 assists) last year.
The re-signed players automatically land on their respective team's protected list. Each of the eight existing teams are allowed to protect three more players — totaling six overall — in Phase 3 of the expansion process.
Under the rules, Tapani, Gosling, Gardiner and Daniel were required to sign with any team during this three-day signing phase after rejecting expansion team offers during Phase 2.
Meantime, the league’s four expansion teams are allowed to sign three players after each added five in Phase 2.
Las Vegas added a sixth player to its expansion roster by signing Seattle defender Megan Carter to a two-year contract.
Carter had a goal and four assists last year, and is on the move for a second straight offseason. She was selected by Seattle in the expansion draft last year following her rookie season in Toronto. The 25-year-old is from Milton, Ontario, and played collegiately at Northeastern, where she was a two-time Hockey East defender of the year.
Las Vegas also added its first goalie, signing Minnesota’s Nicole Hensley to a two-year contract. The two-time Walter Cup champion spent three seasons sharing the staring duties with Maddie Rooney, who was protected by the Frost.
Detroit signed second-year Goldeneyes defender Sydney Bard, who became the first player Vancouver lost to an expansion team.
San Jose signed second-year Boston defender Hadley Hartmetz to a two-year contract.
Tapani’s re-signing was key for a Boston team that lost top-line center Alina Muller to Hamilton this past week. Tapani is a two-time Olympic bronze medalist. She ranked second on the Fleet with nine goals, and fifth with 18 points.
The 25-year-old Gosling finished last season tied for the Torrent lead with 20 points (six goals and 14 assists). She’s from London, Ontario, and was selected sixth overall by Toronto in the 2024 draft out of St. Lawrence University.
The 26-year-old Flaherty carries the distinction of being the league’s only three-time Walter Cup champion after spending her first two seasons in Minnesota. From Lakeville, Minnesota, she had three goals and an assist in nine playoff games and scored a career-best five goals and nine points in 30 regular-season outings.
