Jeff Bagwell made an impact in the 6-3 Houston win over Indianapolis. Bagwell, who is tied for 2nd in the NL in RBI with 15, was 4-4 with 4 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Dock Ellis was the winner in relief. His record is now 1-0. The losing pitcher was Virgil Trucks. Sparky Lyle closed the door for Houston, picking up his 2nd save of the year.

George Brett, who finished 3rd in the AL in triples with 12 in 2000, took Indianapolis hurler Willie Mitchell deep in the bottom of the fifth. His grand slam home run put the Colt 45s on top, 6-3. In all, Brett had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 4.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Bagwell told the Houston Times.

The win gives Houston a record of 8-7.
