Alyson’s game wrap
On a night when the Astros namesake celebrated their 50th anniversary, Brain Moehler came withing an out of a complete game with a masterful pitching performance against the commie Reds, winning 6-2 as he was in command the entire game before fading in the ninth and needing help from rookie Wesley Wright to finish. He was supported in victory by a Carlos Lee grand orbit blast, a Hunter Pence run-scoring triple and a solo rocket shot from Miguel Tejada.
Was Moehler inspired by the new 50-year NASA patch?
