Houston Rallies for 8-4 Victory
The Houston Astros defeated the Baltimore Orioles, 8-4, at Minute Maid Park. Houston designated hitter Wally Roettger had a superb performance. He went 4-4 with 3 doubles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The 9th-place Astros lifted their record to 57-93.

The game was at a stalemate until center fielder Joe Orsulak came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Baltimore pitcher Shawn Tolleson, he hit a 2-0 fastball for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Houston on top, 6-4.

"It's still just a game," said Roettger, "whether you win or lose."
