Dan Driessen drove in five runs with three hits and Pedro Borbon pitched five sterling innings of relief to enable the Reds to outlast the Astros, 8-6. Driessen batted in his first two runs with a pair of singles, walked with the bases loaded for another RBI and concluded his big night at bat with a two-run double.
