Notable

Astros: Billy Wagner's next save will tie him with Doug Jones for the club record of 36 saves. Tony Eusebio's homer extended the club record for hitting at least one home run in a game to 13.

Giants: Jeff Kent extended his hitting streak to 12 games with an infield single in the second. That ties the longest such streak by a Giant this season. Ellis Burks went 0-for-3 on his 35th birthday.

Marlins: Julio Ramirez singled in his first major-league plate appearance.

Reds: Eddie Taubensee's 19 homers are the most by a Cincinnati catcher since Johnny Bench hit 24 in 1980.

Rockies: Larry Walker was held out of the starting lineup to rest his sore left knee.
