The loser was J.J. McCard. The Astros now have a record of 63-46 with the win over Oakland.

The Astros got a big at-bat from first baseman Hideyuki Takahashi. For the game, Takahashi was 1 for 2 with a home run, a walk, and was hit 2 times. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. In the bottom of the first, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 36th home run of the season gave Houston a 2-0 lead.

"We had a nice day," said Houston skipper Zeb Currier.
