Wilkerson Hits 2 home runs in Astros Win
The Houston Astros stopped the Montreal Expos, 5-4, at Olympic Stadium. The Astros got a big game from Brad Wilkerson, who hit 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. Houston is now riding a 6-game win streak.

Wilkerson had a game-changing home run in the top of the ninth. On a 2-2 sinker from Mike Mussina, he banged a solo home run to right, giving the Astros a 5-4 lead. It was the 7th home run of the year for Wilkerson.

"We squandered some opportunities," said Montreal manager Daniel Blanton.
