A single by Phil Garner drove home the winning run as the Astros shaded the Dodgers, 2-1, in 11 innings. The score was 1-1 when Jose Cruz opened the bottom of the 11th with a two-bagger. Danny Walling received an intentional walk and both runners moved up on Dickie Thon's sacrifice bunt. Alan Ashby was walked intentionally to load the bases and, after Kiko Garcia struck out, Garner lined a ball over second base to end the game. [The Sporting News]
