Astros Paste 6-5 Loss on Wizards
Wizards Park was the site of an exciting ballgame between the Houston Astros and Washington Wizards.

The Houston Astros weathered a fine game by Washington center fielder Luis Terrero to upend the Wizards, 6-5, at Wizards Park. Terrero slugged 2 home runs. Houston goes to 82-47. The win puts them 11½ games up in their division.

Houston used the bat of Ryan Thompson to get the win. The designated hitter hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Astros ahead, 4-3. It was his lone hit in 2 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Thompson said after the game.
