Big Day for Simmons as Astros Down White Sox, 10-5
Houston right fielder Ed Simmons made his presence felt in the 10-5 Astros triumph over the Chicago White Sox. Simmons was 2 for 3 with a home run, a walk, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3. Kevin Rogers, who went 5.1 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 5 runs on 8 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 7. His record now stands at 6-6. Houston is now 40-56, Chicago 50-46.

Tony Holman had a big 2-run home run for the Astros in the top of the fifth inning. With Houston leading 2-1 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a forkball from Rocky Thompson, who is tied for 9th in the AL with a 1.17 WHIP, and punished it. The result was his 12th home run of the season, which put the Astros on top, 4-1.

In postgame comments, Simmons told the Houston Gazette: "Do people still doubt I give 100 percent?"
