Blalock Helps Astros Run Win Streak to 8
|
Benefiting from Hank Blalock's productive game, the Houston Astros downed the Washington Wizards, 9-4. Blalock was 3-4 with a home run and a triple, while scoring 3 and driving in 4 for the Astros. The winning streak has now reached 8 games for Houston.
Greg Connors drew 1 walk in 4 trips to the plate for Houston. The six-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 4-4 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Ryan Rowland-Smith. It was his 77th RBI of the season.
"We're movin' and groovin' right now," said Blalock.
