The Philadelphia Phillies overcame a good performance by Houston center fielder Ryan Klesko to knock off Houston, 7-4, in 10 innings at Astrodome 1965. Klesko was 3-3 with a double, 2 singles, and 2 walks, while scoring 2. Carl Hamilton closed out the game, earning his 1st save. Philadelphia is now 32-14. Houston is 26-20.

Philadelphia used the timely hitting of John Kruk to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Phillies on top, 6-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Kruk told the Philadelphia Today.
