Wells Propels Houston Offense in 12-3 Rout
Houston left fielder Mike Wells had a 6-RBI performance, which helped his team down the Chicago Hawks, 12-3. Houston is now 84-57, Chicago 51-90.

With Houston leading 1-0 in the top of the second, Wells hit a changeup from Johnny Russell for a 3-run home run. It was his 19th home run of the season and put the Drillers ahead, 4-0.

"That was not our best effort," said Chicago skipper Mike Flaherty.
