Big Game from Burns Not Enough, Angels Lose
Los Angeles second baseman George Burns had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Burns slugged 3 home runs, while adding 7 RBI and scoring three times, even as Houston beat the Angels, 9-8. Houston reliever Ed Head was the winner. His record is now 1-1. Kyle Hendricks took the loss. The Astros bumped their record to 42-39 with this latest triumph.

Joe DiMaggio, the former first round draft pick , had a direct impact on the outcome. DiMaggio contributed a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put Houston up, 3-0.

"It wasn't a pretty victory," said DiMaggio, "but we got it done."
