The Houston Astros got back on track Friday night behind an unlikely standout and the return of an old one. Adam Everett hit a two-out, three-run double in the eighth inning and closer Brad Lidge retired three straight in the ninth to get the save in the Houston Astros’ 5-3 victory over the Texas Rangers.
It was about time for the Houston Astros to get a victory. It was a much needed one because after the sweep they suffered at home the players werent that motivated. With the victory at least the Astros got a little boost in their morale to continue fighting for that first place in their division.
“I was just trying to prolong the inning and get the next guy up there,” said Everett, who bats eighth. “It’s one of those at-bats that I’ll always remember because it was my first game-winning hit. That’s pretty exciting.”
Oswalt pitched 6 strong innings allowing a season high 11 hits, but with all that he did a pretty good job and got the victory fro m the Rangers.
