Walk-Off Seals 97th Victory for Astros
Houston picked up a win at Minute Maid Park, bumping off the Arizona Firestorm, 7-4. Pitcher Fernando Rijo was a major reason the Astros emerged victorious. The Astros, at 97-52, have now won 4 straight.

Carl Crawford was the walk-off hero for Houston. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Astros center fielder hit a dramatic 3-run home run to send the teams home.

"This place was electric at the end," Rijo said.
