AP recap via Yahoo!
The Astros busted a 1-1 tie in the 6th inning by scoring six runs, and held on in a wild 9th to record another road victory against the Dodgers. Matt Albers allowed a solo homer in the first, but settled down and pitched 6 2/3 strong innings to earn the win. In their big inning, the Astros combined six singles, a walk, and a sac fly to bust the game open, and Brad Lidge escaped a jam in the 9th for the save, with an assist from this man.
