Ravens Take Tight Tangle
The Baltimore Ravens topped the Houston Texans, 5-4, in American Conference action at Reliant Stadium. The game was highlighted by the performance of Baltimore pinch hitter Ben Carnes. Jason Goettler snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits over 2 innings. He's now 1-1 on the season. The save was credited to David Morales, his 9th.

Carnes had a timely hit for Baltimore in the top of the eighth. With Baltimore trailing 4-2, he turned a 2-1 cutter into a 3-run home run. It was his 4th home run of the season, making it 5-4, Baltimore.

"I still think this team can play even better," Carnes told the Baltimore Herald.

With their winning streak at 4, the Ravens have raced to a strong start this season.
