Brooklyn Hands Houston 7-4 Defeat
The 7-4 Brooklyn win over Houston was due in large part to Beals Becker. The Royal Giants right fielder went 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. The winning pitcher was Fernando Valenzuela. He tossed 97 pitches over 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 5 hits. Picking up the save was Eric Gagne. He's now 33 for 38 in save chances.

Brooklyn used a clutch at-bat from Vern Stephens to capture the win. The shortstop hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Royal Giants ahead, 4-2. It was his lone hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Nice win for us," said Becker. "Now we'll go after the next one."

The win puts Brooklyn at 85-55 this season.
