Angels Beaten By Astros, 5-3
Greg Connolly, who is tied for 5th in the AL with a 2.86 ERA, had a strong outing for the Houston Astros against the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium of Anaheim. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 5-3 win. The winner was Connolly. He threw 5.2 innings allowing 2 runs. The loser was Ron Oliver. The save went to Bob Ramsey, his 25th this season.

Devin Jones had a big 2-run double for the Astros in the top of the first inning. With Houston leading 1-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a fastball from 25-year old right-handed pitcher Ron Oliver and swatted a double to right. It was his 18th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Astros ahead, 3-0.

Houston manager Mike Napoli commended his team for "doing what it takes to win."

The Astros raised their record to 54-75.
