The first-place Houston Astros took on the Chicago Cubs in front of a spirited crowd.

The 4-hit performance of Calvin Pickering, who finished 2nd in the NL in on-base percentage with .442 in 1999, helped the Houston Astros beat the Chicago Cubs, 14-2. The winner was Brian Sanches, who threw 102 pitches over 7.1 innings. The right-hander was charged with 2 runs on 3 hits.

Jose Valentin contributed to the Houston win with a solo home run in the bottom of the second. For the game, the shortstop had 3 hits in 5 at-bats with 2 home runs, 1 single, 2 runs scored, and 2 RBI.

Chicago manager Jeff Griggs called the blowout loss "ugly."

Houston is now 57-42.
