Clutch Hitting Delivers Win for Drillers
San Francisco third baseman Scott Wagner was sensational. He was 1-1 with 4 walks. He scored 2 runs. But it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Houston beat the Seagulls, 6-4. Angel Colon came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.1 innings. His record now stands at 1-0. The loss drops San Francisco to 12-7.

Mike Lockhart hit a run-scoring triple off Arturo Lopez in the top of the eighth, which put the Drillers in front, 4-3. Lockhart had 1 single, in addition to the triple. For the game, he went 2 for 4.

Houston manager Tom Harrington commended his team for "doing what it takes to win."
