Angels Lose at Home, 8-5
Though he had a stellar game, Augusto Ramírez could not prevent his team, the Los Angeles Angels, from losing, 8-5, to the Houston Astros. Ramírez was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3. Clarence Jackson was the winner. He's now 5-1. The loser was 25-year old right-handed pitcher Derek Henderson. The 4th-place Astros are now 55-76, the Angels 63-67.

Houston used the timely hitting of Ed Simmons to capture the win. The left fielder stroked a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Astros on top, 6-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but he made it count.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Simmons. "You've got to get results."
