The heart attack 'stros pulled out the win tonight in a wild extra inning game against the Yanks. Mike Vernon got the start and pitched very well through seven innings. He got a ND but won the game on a sac fly in the seventh to score Jesse Peterson (double) for his third RBI of the night. In extra innings, Sean Kennedy rescued the Astros from almost certain defeat with the most clutch pitching performance of the season. The Yankees had the bases loaded and nobody out with a 1-0 count on the batter in the bottom of the eighth. Tony Faber had to leave the mound (and eventually the game) due to an arm injury. Kennedy retired the side in order and closed it out in the ninth after the Astros took the lead. The Yankees played a great game. Starter Tim Troville pitched very well after a rocky start and Quinn Ryan, who pitched a CG this past weekend, took the loss in a gutsy relief effort.
