[MLB]Astros blijven winnen
 | De Houston Astros hebben tegen de Phillies in de eerste wedstrijd van een serie van drie de achtste overwinning uit de laatste negen wedstrijden behaald. |
Craig Biggio en Lance Berkman sloegen twee keer een homerun achter elkaar voor de overwinning van de Astros. Startende pitcher Andy Pettitte gooide zeven inning met in iedere inning één slag tegen verder gooide hij zeven man uit en gaf drie vrije lopen weg. Mike Burns pitchte de achtste inning waarop hij alledrie de mensen die voor hem stonden uit gooide en Chad Harville gooide twee van de drie man uit in de negende inning.
Biggio opende de score in de eerste inning met een homerun en Berkman volgde meteen daarna het goede voorbeeld met zijn tiende homerun voor de 2-0. In de derde inning deden de beide heren dit nog eens over terwijl bij de tweede homerun van biggio ook Willy Tavaras nog op een honk stond voor de 5-0.
Rollins deed iets terug voor de Phillies in de vijfde inning met zijn achtste homerun van het seizoen. Een fout van tweedehonkman Ramon Martinez van de Phillies zorgde echter voor twee onverdiende runs zodat na de vijfde inning de eindstand van 7-1 al bereikt was.
