The performance of Tommy Bixby proved critical in helping Houston beat San Francisco, 8-6. The Astros designated hitter was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Tony Villegas earned the save for Houston, his 7th of the year. Houston is 71-70 and San Francisco, with the loss, 69-72.

Houston used the hitting of Jorge Xerez to pick up the win. The left fielder clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Astros on top, 4-0. For the game, Xerez had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I'm trying to see the ball big, see the ball up in the zone and put the barrel on it," Bixby told the Houston Daily.
