Roger Clemens was denied his 5th win of the season when Brad Lidge blew the save in the 9th, but Morgan Ensberg left Astros fans happy with a two-out, three run jack in the bottom of the ninth and a victory over the Blue Jays of Toronto 6-3.
Clemens pitched 7 solid innings, allowing 3 hits and 4 walks with 7 punchouts. The only blemish was a solo homer in the 5th, just out of the reach of rightfielder Jason Lane. Ancient lefty John Franco and Russ Springer pitched a scoreless eight, paving the way for Lidge, who blew his 3rd save of the season, only to get the win after Ensberg's heroics.
Adam Everett and rookie Willy Taveras had three hits each to lead the offensive effort.
The Astros try for the sweep tomorrow, Josh Towers vs. Roy Oswalt, 1:05 on FSSW.
