With Houston leading 9-5 in the top of the eighth, Rawlins came up to bat against Chicago pitcher Angel Villatoro. Rawlins hit a cutter to right for a grand slam home run. His 3rd home run of the season put the Drillers on top, 13-5.

"We came out aggressive," said Drillers manager Tom Harrington. "We came out swinging the bats."
