San Diego Beats Houston, 9-4
Hank Blalock was instrumental in his team's 9-4 triumph over the Houston Astros. The third baseman was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 3 runs for the San Diego Padres. With the win, San Diego upped its record to 81-54.

The Padres got an important contribution from second baseman Junior Spivey, who in the top of the third hit a curveball into left for a solo home run. It was his 18th home run of the season and put the Padres ahead, 2-0.

"You can't take yourself too seriously," Spivey told the San Diego News. "But at the end of the day, we do play to win ballgames."
