Dodgers Edged, 10-6, by Houston
The Houston Astros weathered an outstanding game by Los Angeles left fielder Gerardo Parra to topple the Dodgers, 10-6. Parra was 3-5 with a home run and a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The winner was Emerson Bello in relief. His record improves to 2-0. Edwin Benitez took the loss. The first-place Astros now have a record of 110-45.

The Dodgers had been locked in a 6-6 tie with the Astros going into the top of the ninth inning. That changed quickly when the 30-year old catcher Gaby Sanchez came to the plate. Sanchez hit a run-scoring double on a 1-2 fastball from Los Angeles hurler Edwin Benitez. It was Sanchez's 25th double of the year.

"We knocked the fire out of the ball," said Houston manager Craig Biggio. "The guys swung the bats pretty good, and that's fun to see."
