Drillers Tag Emeralds with 4-3 Loss
Behind the hitting of Don Martinez, the Houston Drillers stopped the Seattle Emeralds, 4-3. Martinez slugged 2 home runs for the Drillers. Francisco Castro was the winner. Over 6.2 innings, he yielded 2 runs on 5 hits, with 2 walks and 5 strikeouts. Bill Switzer earned the save for Houston, his 19th of the year.

Houston took a 4-2 lead on Mark Sisson's 33rd home run of the season. The solo home run, which Sisson hit in the top of the eighth, left Seattle pitcher Dave Alexander visibly frustrated.

"It feels good to get this one," Martinez told the Houston Citizen.

Houston is now 78-70, while Seattle is 70-78.
