Texans Stay Hot With 5-3 Win
The Houston Texans topped the Buffalo Bills, 5-3, in American Conference action at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The standout performance belonged to Houston pitcher and Glen Rose, Texas, native Eric Snow. The save was credited to Keith Barnes, his 10th. The Texans, now 18-3, have been on a roll in the early going.

Bob Brackman came through with a big-time hit for Houston. The pinch hitter smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 5-2. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"Eric did a nice job," said Texans manager Brett Main.
