Boston 2004 Defeated by Houston 1980, 6-1
The Houston 1980 Astros downed the Boston 2004 Red Sox, 6-1, at Astrodome. Stellar pitching by J.R. Richard had a lot to do with it. The right-hander, who leads the AL in strikeouts with 112, handcuffed his opponent all game. The winner was Richard. He threw 7.0 innings of 6-hit ball. The loser was Derek Lowe. The winning continues for Houston 1980, with the latest triumph making it 7 straight.

The Astros got a big at-bat from left fielder Jose Cruz. For the game, Cruz was 1 for 4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the second, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 7th home run of the season gave Houston 1980 a 2-0 lead.

"It was a tough night at the plate," said Boston 2004 manager Kelly Audia.
