  • John Henry returns to his first inning form getting chased in the 7th. Tony Armas's 3rd extra-base hit of the game though trims the lead back to 2, keeping the pressure on the Astros

  • The Angels fail to score after a Bobby Grich leadoff single. Dyar Miller's been roughed up the past 2 days by the Dodgers, but retired LA in order in the 7th
