| The Nationals come up on the wrong end of a back-and-forth battle with the Astros. The Nats came out swinging early, scoring 4 runs on 7 hits over the first 3 innings. Unfortunately, the Astros would put up 5 in the bottom of the 4th, including a 3-run homer from Eric Munson. The Nats would tie it in the top of the 5th, but the Astros would stake their way to an 8-5 lead. The Nats would erase that thanks to a 3-run home run from Wily Mo Pena in the 7th, but the Astros would load the bases without registering an out in the bottom of the 9th before Ty Wigginton ended it with a single up the middle. |

Houston Astros won a dramatic crowd-pleaser over Washington Nationals at
Minute Maid Field pulling it out in their last at bats, 9 to 8.
The deciding run was scored by Houston in the 9th. Mark Loretta lined a
single. Lance Berkman stepped into the batter's box and he delivered a
single. Carlos Lee then drew a walk to load the bases. After an out was
recorded, Ty Wigginton stepped in and he ripped a base-knock making Houston
the victors to the delight of the home town faithful. Despite scoring in 5
separate innings, Washington could not get the win.
Dave Borkowski(4-3) went 3 innings allowing 3 runs for the victory. Saul
Rivera(6-3) was the losing pitcher in relief. He allowed 1 run and 1 hit in
2 innings.
