Astros Drop Rangers, 9-0
Starting pitcher Dirk Wayfield had a solid game. He was a big reason the Houston Astros throttled the Texas Rangers, 9-0. The winning pitcher was Wayfield, now 9-8. He tossed 5.2 innings of 3-hit ball, while walking 3 and fanning 6. The Astros now have a record of 42-85.

Houston used the stroke of Luis Melecio to get the win. The catcher hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Astros ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

Said losing manager Josh Texas: "Give the Astros credit. They played a better game than we did."
