Big Day with Bat: Biggio 5-for-5
Astros second baseman Craig Biggio had his way with Atlanta pitching at Turner Field and mauled them for 5 hits in 5 at-bats. His efforts were all in vain, though, as the Braves ruined his great day by toppling the Astros, 6-3.

"I had a great day, but you've got to give Atlanta credit, they did what they had to do to win," he told reporters after the game. "They weren't very impressed with my 5 hits."

"Oh, we noticed what Biggio did today," Braves skipper Brandon Quick said. "He had quite a game. I can tell you this, we will pitch him a little differently the next time we face him."

Craig Biggio singled in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Kent Mercker in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off Francisco Cordero in the 9th.

This season, Biggio is batting .369 with 10 home runs. His totals include 52 RBIs and 74 runs scored.
