Stiffler Excels in 11-5 Houston Win
Bob Stiffler was a major contributor to the 11-5 Houston win over New York. The Texans left fielder went 3-4 with a home run, a double, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4. Houston has now won 4 straight.

Houston used a clutch at-bat from Jeremy Dodson to capture the win. The center fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Texans ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"We hit the ball hard," said Houston manager Brett Main. "Line drive after line drive."
