Biittner drives in 4 runs to Power Astros Offense
The Houston Astros defeated the Texas Rangers by the score of 12-6, with the biggest share of the credit going to designated hitter Larry Biittner. Biittner was 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, a walk, and was hit by a pitch. He scored 2 times and drove in 4 for the Astros on the day. The Astros win now puts them at 58-93.

Houston used a clutch at-bat from Bill Terry to capture the win. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Astros ahead, 8-5. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"No one player deserves all the credit when you win," Terry said. "And the same is true when you lose."
