Reds Come Up Short at Houston, 6-5
The 6-5 Houston win over Cincinnati was due in large part to Dave R Roberts. The Astros center fielder was 2 for 3 with 2 singles and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Jerome Williams earned the win for Houston. He lasted 8 innings, allowing 4 runs on 9 hits, while striking out 5. With the win, he raised his record to 3-13. Aquilino Lopez converted his 1st save in 1 tries.

Marlon Anderson, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 1997 draft, aided the Houston cause with a run-scoring ground out in the bottom of the first. For the game, the second baseman went 1 for 4.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Anderson. "And not try to do too much."

Houston has now won 3 straight, while the Reds have lost 3 in a row.
