Reds Suffer 7-4 Setback
Houston Astros starter Mark Gaither was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the Cincinnati Reds, 7-4. In 5.1 innings, Gaither surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 3. He allowed 4 runs. The Astros, at 63-61, sit in third place in the American League West Division.

With scoring opportunities rare, the Astros had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the second, when catcher Pat Mueller hit a run-scoring single. The single came off Dusty Edwards and made the score 2-0, Astros. Mueller was 2-4 with 2 singles.

"The name on the front of this uniform is all that matters to me," Gaither told the Houston Citizen. "And padding the Houston win column."
