Astros Rally For 8-5 Win
The Houston Astros and Minnesota Twins completed their game despite the inclement weather.

The Houston Astros beat the Minnesota Twins, 8-5, at Richter Field. Billy Mills starred for Houston. He went 2 for 4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Minnesota falls to 15-11.

Edwin Licea came through with a big-time hit for Houston. The left fielder smacked a solo home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 6-5. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"Billy is still learning," said Astros manager Ron Astros GM. "The sky's the limit for him."
