Drillers Pop Pobladores, 9-1
Houston starter Rick McStay ran into little resistance from Los Angeles hitters, as his team cruised to victory, 9-1. The win makes Houston 48-41.

Houston used a clutch at-bat from Mike Wells to capture the win. The left fielder hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the first inning to put the Drillers ahead, 5-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Said losing manager Kurt Peterson: "The at-bats, obviously, needed to be better."
