J.D. Drew lofted one into the 'cheap seats' and had 3 RBI as the Los
Angeles(NL) Dodgers defeated the Houston Astros by the score of 4 to 2 at
Minute Maid Field.
Los Angeles(NL) scored 2 runs in the top of the 6th inning with the help of 3
hits. The key at-bat was by Drew who deflated the spirits of the home town
crowd when he blasted a two-run home run. Takashi Saito came throught with a
perfect ninth inning to earn his 4th save.
Derek Lowe(2-0) went 5 and 1/3 innings allowing 2 runs for the victory. Roger
Clemens(1-1) was tagged with the loss. 'I didn't have my best stuff but
sometimes you just get lucky,' Lowe said, 'this was one of those times.'
