The Houston Drillers earned a close win over the Twin Cities Northmen, thanks in part to Larry Bilski. The Houston right-hander, who is on pace for 237 strikeouts this season, played a key role in the 2-1 victory. By defeating Twin Cities, the 4th-place Drillers improved to 55-57.

Bilski, now 12-7, scattered 6 hits over 9 innings for the Drillers.

"From pitch one to the last pitch, Larry was aggressive," said Houston manager Tom Harrington.
