Homestead Defeated By Colt 45s, 7-5
The Houston Colt 45s defeated the Homestead Grays, 7-5, at Forbes Field. Houston was led by 26-year old first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, who was 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The win was credited to Vida Blue in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Bob Friend took the loss. The win gives Houston a season record of 64-63.

Goldschmidt had an important at-bat with a runner on 2nd in the top of the sixth, when he hit a 2-run home run. The Colt 45s went on to win.

"Anytime you're seeing it well, it's a good feeling," Goldschmidt told the Houston Gazette.
