Astros Handle Brewers, Grab 5-2 Win
The Houston Astros got a stellar effort from pitcher Andy Pettitte, helping Houston score a win over the visiting Milwaukee Brewers, 5-2. Houston is now 64-56, while Milwaukee is 74-46.

Frank Thomas had a big solo home run for the Astros in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Houston leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he sized up a curveball from Shane Reynolds, who finished 5th in the AL in saves with 32 in 1991, and punished it. The result was his 27th home run of the season, which put the Astros on top, 2-0.

Thomas told the Houston Chronicle: "Win or lose, I don't want to see our team outhustled."
