Jerry Duersch was a major factor in the 6-4 Houston win over Dallas. The Drillers second baseman was 1-2 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2 runs. Tom McAteer earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. He upped his record to 7-2. Rick McStay collected save number 5.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder Mike Lockhart came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Dallas pitcher Frank Dunn, he hit a 0-2 changeup for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Houston on top, 6-4.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said Houston manager Tom Harrington.

With the win, Houston has a record of 54-38. Dallas falls to 55-41.
