Texas Squanders Big Game by Pabian
Scott Pabian did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Texas Rangers from being beaten, 9-8, to the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. Pabian belted 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Jim Grangroth earned the win for Houston. He lasted 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 7 hits, while striking out 5. With the win, he raised his record to 7-3. Picking up his 17th save was 25-year old right-handed pitcher Chris Sanchez.

In the bottom of the sixth, Houston shortstop Mike Darling had a productive at-bat. With a runner on 2nd and one out, Darling stroked a run-scoring single to center. It made the score 9-3, Houston. For the game, he went 1 for 4 with a hit by pitch.

"It feels good, just a great win all around," Darling said after the game.

The 'W' lifts Houston's record to 45-47.
