The Houston Astros besoiled an otherwise fine performance by Oakland third baseman Mark Hovell by beating the Athletics, 9-5, at Minute Maid Park. Hovell was 3-4 with 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. With the win, Houston raised its record to 31-27.

Zack Atwood, who is on pace for 70 RBI this season, chipped in a solo home run for Houston in the bottom of the third. For the game, the left fielder had 3 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 2 singles, 3 runs scored, and 1 RBI.

"It's always a heck of a lot easier to get to sleep after a win," Atwood told the Houston Times. "I know I'll rest easy tonight."
