Astros Rally to Beat Phillies, 5-4
Houston picked up a win at Astrodome, bumping off the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-4. Pitcher George Culver was a major reason the Astros emerged victorious. Lanny Monette nailed down his 16th save. The slumping Phillies have lost 6 straight.

Had Ike Brown not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Brown hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Astros.

"We're in a funk and we need to shake ourselves out of it," said Philadelphia manager Michael Burchill.
