Astros Rally Late to Nip Rays
Dylan Veeck had a good game, but he could not keep the Tampa Bay Rays from falling, 5-4, to the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. The Tampa Bay third baseman was 3 for 4 with 3 singles and a walk. He drove in 2 runs in the loss. The win has Houston at 49-71.

Ed Simmons was the walk-off hero for Houston. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Astros designated hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

In comments to the Houston Gazette, Simmons admitted that he doesn't always push himself. "But the results," he said, "speak for themselves."
