Troy Patton went to the mound in Wriggly today to face the first place Cubs. He lost his second game of his career, but pitched better than his first outing. Once again, however, He was hurt by the long ball. He had a tight game going for him until a tie breaking two run home run was hit in the sixth inning by Ramirez. Houston Managed for two more runs, but every time the good guys got a run, the Cubs put them back down with a point of their own.

Houston lost to Chicago 3-4.

The Astros are now looking for Woody Williams to come in for the final game and claim the series as their own. Rich Hill, on the other hand, will try and prevent that. The Astros would really like two series' in a row to take into Milwaukee.
