Houston Makes It 7 Straight with 8-5 Win
Montreal left fielder Nick Nix had a good game in a losing cause. His team fell, 8-5, to Houston at Delorimier Stadium. Nix went 2-3 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Gordie Richardson, credited with the win, is now 1-0. He allowed no runs on no hits. The win gives Houston a record of 17-9.

Houston used a clutch hit from Darby Moore to get the win. The second baseman drilled a grand slam home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Colt .45s ahead, 6-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"This team's hitting on all cylinders," said Colt .45s manager Crash Davis.
