Drillers Earn Clutch Win, 9-8
The 9-8 Houston win over Boston was due largely to Mike Lockhart. The Drillers right fielder was 2 for 4 with 2 singles and a walk. He scored 2 runs. The win was credited to Tom McAteer in relief. His record improves to 10-4. Bill Falcon took the loss. Earning the save was Warner Manning. He's now cashed in 3 of 5 save opportunities.

Jerry Duersch drove in one run for Houston. The three-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the top of the ninth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 8-8 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Bill Falcon. It was his 18th RBI of the season.

"We've got to get out of this funk," said Boston manager David Molina.

Boston has now lost 9 straight.
