He scored 3 times and drove in 2 for Houston in the contest. The winning pitcher was Cory Gearrin. He's now 12-3. He went 5 innings, allowing 2 runs on 3 hits for the Astros. The Astros, at 89-38, sit in first place in the NL West Division.

Early in the game, first baseman Albert Pujols had a 2-run home run for Houston. It was his 26th home run of the season and put the Astros on top, 2-0.

"We didn't put our best foot forward tonight," said losing manager Edgar Martinez.
