Michael Bourn (.294) had 3 hits (2 doubles) and 3 RBI to help lead the Astros to a 7-6 win over Washington. Jay Happ ended a drought that saw him winless since May 14, gaining his 4th win of the season by working 5.2 innings, and allowing 5 runs on 7 hits and 4 walks. Sergio Escalona (2.45) retired the only hitter he faced for Houston...........In Minnesota, Lou Marson (.250) had a single and a walk, and scored a run for the Indians in their 2-1 loss to the Twins............In Chicago, the Phillies rallied for 2 in the 8th and 2 in the 9th, to come from behind and beat the Cubs, 4-2. Domonic Brown had a single, a double and a walk, and Mike Stutes improved to 4-1 on the year with 2 scoreless innings of relief. Antonio Bastardo picked up his 7th save (in 7 attempts), and got his ERA down to 0.99.
The wins by Happ and Stutes make a total of 59 major league wins this year for former Claws!
In Manchester, Tuffy Gosewisch and Terry Evans homered, and Mike Spidale (.314, 2 runs, RBI), Matt Rizzotti (.297, single, double, walk, run scored) and Carlos Rivero (single, double, 2 RBI) all had 2 hits, as the Reading Phillies beat New Hampshire, 10-2.

Ramirez pitched great, going 7 strong innings and allowing just 2 UNearned runs on 3 hits and 1 walk to earn his 8th win of the year.
In Corpus Christi, Jonathan Villar had a double and scored a run for the Hooks in their 4-2 win over the Rockhounds................In Colorado Springs, Kyle Drabek threw a complete game (6 innings) for Las Vegas in the 51s' 5-3 loss to the SkySox in the first game of a doubleheader. Kyle gave up 5 runs on 5 hits and 5 walks and cannot seem to find any consistency. The 51s also placed Kevin Howard on the 7-day DL...............In Round Rock, the Express ran over New Orleans, 15-6. Jesus Merchan (.263) had a hit and an RBI for the Zephyrs.
