Astros Win, 3-1, Over Chicago
Houston Astros starter Jay O'Shaughnessy was in fine form as he helped his team beat the Chicago Cubs, 3-1. O'Shaughnessy, now 1-0, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 2, walking 5, and allowing 1 run. Getting the save was Hal Garrett, his 5th.

Albert Pujols, the two-time Most Valuable Player Award winner , had a direct impact on the outcome. Pujols contributed a run-scoring double in the top of the first inning to put Houston up, 1-0.

"I like to lead by example," said O'Shaughnessy. "I'm glad I could contribute to a good win."

The first-place Astros have their sights set on making a deep playoff run.
