Drillers Popped by Hawks, 6-3
Starting pitcher Armando Estrada pitched well enough to help the Chicago Hawks beat the Houston Drillers, 6-3. Estrada, now 3-11, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 3, walking 6, and allowing 3 runs. The Hawks raised their record to 35-79.

Had Mike Wells delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Wells flied out. The score remained 4-3, Chicago, and the Hawks were out of the jam.
