Gomez Slugs Astros to 6-2 Win
Houston third baseman Nelson Gomez made his presence felt in the 6-2 Astros triumph over the Texas Rangers. Gomez hit 2 home runs. He drove in 6 runs and scored twice. Houston now sports a record of 60-78.

Gomez contributed a big hit, a 3-run home run, for Houston in the top of the third. With his team trailing 2-1, Gomez took a screwball from Roberto Cancio and stroked the home run to left. His 4th home run of the season allowed the Astros to leap in front, 4-2.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Gomez told a Houston Gazette reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."
