The Houston Astros downed the Pittsburgh Pirates, 10-1, at PNC Park. John Lindsey led the way, going 4-for-4 for Houston. Johnny Cueto was the winner. He's now 18-5. The loser was 31-year old left-handed pitcher Clint Johnston. Roy Oswalt was credited with the save for Houston, his 1st of the season.

In the top of the fourth, Houston center fielder Sam Fuld had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and one out, Fuld stroked a run-scoring single to left-center. It made the score 2-0, Houston. For the game, he went 2-5 with 2 singles.

"That was not our best effort," said Pittsburgh skipper Garrett Pirates.
