Astros Prevail, 4-2, Over Pittsburgh
Houston pitcher Edwin Romero did his part in helping his team beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-2. The right-hander kept opposing batters from doing too much damage. Romero picked up the win for Houston, going 6.2 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 5 hits. He now sports a record of 18-7. With the win, Houston upped its record to 82-64.

Jimmy Rollins had a big 2-run home run for the Astros in the bottom of the third inning. With Houston trailing 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from 31-year old left-handed pitcher Clint Johnston and punished it. The result was his 22nd home run of the season, which put the Astros on top, 2-1.

"Edwin's as tough as he is talented," said Houston manager Mike L.
