Houston Wins, 11-5
No one was more impactful than Mike Wells in the 11-5 Houston win over Toronto. Wells, who is a two-time All-Star, went 1 for 1 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. The Drillers go to 34-49 with the win.

Houston used the timely hitting of Jim Johnson to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Drillers on top, 6-4. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Wells told a Houston Observer reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."
