Los Angeles Angels starter Jeff Simmons pitched a strong game against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park, leading the Angels to victory, 6-2. Simmons, now 11-7, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 3 hits, while striking out 8, walking 4, and allowing 2 runs. The save went to Jason Adam, his 26th this season.

Leonardo Balcazar came through with a big-time hit for Los Angeles. The third baseman smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to give his team the lead, 4-2. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"I found a nice groove out there," said Simmons.
