Astros Collect 8-7 Win Over Reds
The Houston Astros did just enough to sneak past the Cincinnati Reds, 8-7, at Great American Ball Park. Houston third baseman Miguel Andujar, in particular, had a standout performance. Houston now owns a record of 75-76.

The game was all tied up in the top of the tenth, until Andujar delivered big-time for Houston, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off Jesús Mejía. The game-changing hit put the Astros on top, 8-7.

"We battled our tails off to get this win," said Houston manager Pedro Lopez.
