Houston Astros (20-13) 1 0 2 0 0 1 0 0 1 5 9 0

Houston Dealt 8-5 Defeat
Despite a fine performance by first baseman Hideyuki Takahashi, the Houston Astros lost to the Texas Rangers, 8-5. Takahashi went 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. The Rangers go to 17-16, putting them 4th in the American League West Division.

The Astros had been locked in a 4-4 tie with the Rangers going into the bottom of the seventh inning. That changed quickly when the 28-year old center fielder Billy Thompson came to the plate. Thompson hit a run-scoring double on a 1-2 fastball from Houston hurler Kihachi Okuhara. It was Thompson's 12th double of the year.

"You start putting runs on the board and winning, everyone's going to get excited," said Thompson.
