Gardner Helps Houston Cruise to 10-3 Win
Houston center fielder Joe Gardner made his presence felt in the 10-3 Astros triumph over the Cleveland Indians. Gardner was 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 5. The winning pitcher was Bill Dillard. He tossed 111 pitches over 8.1 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits. Houston, with the win, climbs to 39-73.

Gardner contributed a big hit, a 3-run home run, for Houston in the bottom of the third. With his team trailing 2-1, Gardner took a fastball from Risto Pandev and stroked the home run to left. His 21st home run of the season allowed the Astros to leap in front, 4-2.

"The boys came out and just played their butts off," said Houston manager Dave DaSilva.
