Houston Grabs 7-6 Road Win
The rain came, as predicted, but the Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves were able to complete their ballgame.

The Houston Astros beat the Atlanta Braves, 7-6, at Turner Field. The win was due in part to first baseman Juan Andrada, who went 4-5 with 4 singles. Josh Beckett got credit for the win, improving to 7-6. He allowed 4 runs on 3 hits in 5 innings. Raul Cazal earned the save for Houston, his 27th.

It could have been a different outcome for Houston, had it not been for Carlos Gonzalez, the former first round draft pick . Gonzalez contributed a 2-run single in the top of the fifth inning to put Houston up, 5-4.

"I don't care about style points," Gonzalez said. "I only care about winning."

Houston currently is in third place in the NL Central Division at 48-40.
