The Houston Astros beat the Chicago White Sox, 5-3. Houston pitcher and Shafter, California, native Nick Avery led the way. Avery picked up the win for Houston, going 6.2 innings. He gave up 3 runs on 4 hits. He now sports a record of 8-6. Nick Mulcahey wrapped it up, recording his 2nd save.

Johnny Johnson had a big run-scoring double for the Astros in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Houston leading 3-2 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a cutter from Raul Ornelas, who is tied for 5th in the AL in wins with 8, and swatted a double to left. It was his 25th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Astros ahead, 4-2.

"I still think this team can play even better," Johnson told the Houston Gazette.

With the win, the Astros have a record of 48-31.
