Houston Texans (20-8) 1 0 0 1 0 2 0 0 2 6 10 0
San Diego Chargers (18-10) 1 3 3 2 0 0 0 0 X 9 13 1
Vargas Hits 2 home runs in Chargers Win
Chargers first baseman Danny Vargas left his imprint on his team's 9-6 win over the Houston Texans. Vargas hit 2 home runs, while scoring 3 and driving in 2 for San Diego in the contest. Houston, with the loss, is still a robust 20-8.

Montrelle Tapia hit a 3-run home run off Jake Van Dellen in the bottom of the second, which put the Chargers ahead, 4-1. In addition to the homer, Tapia had 1 double, while going 2 for 4.

"Hitting is contagious. And when you have a lineup that's going to throw out competitive at-bats one through nine, it makes you want to join in," said Vargas.
