| Rangers Sunk by Pilots | Seattle picked up a win at Pilots Park, bumping off the Houston Rangers, 5-2. Pitcher Rodolfo Bustamante was a major reason the Pilots emerged victorious. Bustamante yielded 1 run over 7.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 4 hits, walked 1, and struck out 8. His record improves to 3-2. The Seattle winning streak has reached 3 games.
Jesus Reyes had a big 3-run home run for the Pilots in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Seattle leading 1-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he sized up a fastball from 22-year old right-handed pitcher Miguel Jimenez and punished it. The result was his 15th home run of the season, which put the Pilots on top, 4-0.
"Rodolfo was in control from the top," said Seattle manager David Fields. | | | | |
