A sacrifice fly by Enos Cabell in the bottom of the ninth enabled the Astros to shade the winless Braves, 5-4. Cabell's blow scored Cesar Cedeno, who had led off the inning with his fourth hit of the game. The Braves trailed, 4-1, going into the top of the eighth, but rallied for three runs, with a two-run pinch-double by Jeff Burroughs the key hit.
