Sisson Lifts Drillers to 6-4 Triumph
The 6-4 Houston win over Detroit was due largely to Mark Sisson. The Drillers left fielder went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Tom McAteer was the winner. Over 5.2 innings, he yielded 4 runs on 7 hits, with 5 walks and 4 strikeouts. With the win, the Drillers have a record of 42-42.

In the first inning, Sisson had a 3-run home run for Houston. It was his 9th home run of the season and put the Drillers on top, 3-0.

"We take it day by day here," said Sisson, "and today was a good one for us."
