García Leads Houston to 4-2 Win
Gilberto García was outstanding against Oakland. The right-hander, who finished 3rd in the AL in wins with 18 last year, had a fastball that was virtually unhittable at times. The result was a Astros 4-2 win. José Reyes earned his 35th save in 39 chances. Houston, at 68-47, is 6 games up in the American League Central Division.

García was in the zone all game. He frustrated Oakland hitters while giving the Astros 6 innings of quality work. García threw 96 pitches, allowing 1 hit and getting 9 punchouts.

"I felt we were ready to go," said Houston manager Jay Wells. "Our pregame was pretty good."
