Houston Upended by Toronto, 6-3
Toronto starter Bill John pitched well against the Houston Drillers at Dominion Field. The right-hander led his team to a win, 6-3. The winner was John. He threw 6.2 innings allowing 3 runs. The loser was Francisco Castro. Steve Persenaire earned the save for Toronto, his 2nd of the year.

The outcome was still in doubt with two out in the top of the third inning, but John was able to pitch out of a jam. With runners on 1st and 3rd and Houston trailing 1-0, John retired Mark Sisson, who flied out.

Houston is 2-2 after the defeat.
