Astros Top Rangers, 9-1, Behind Gearrin
The Houston Astros downed the Texas Rangers, 9-1, at Minute Maid Park. Stellar pitching by Cory Gearrin had a lot to do with it. The right-hander, who is tied for 2nd in the NL with a 0.94 WHIP, handcuffed his opponent all game. The Astros, at 71-31, have a comfortable 19-game lead in their division.

Gearrin delivered a quality start for Houston. The 6-foot-1 right-hander allowed no earned runs on 1 hit over 7 innings of work.

"That was a really good outing by Cory," said Houston manager Craig Biggio.
