ARI99 vs HOU99
Games 1-2 - Astrodome
Games 3-4 - Bank One Ballpark
GAME 1 - ARI 8, HOU 5
R.Johnson vs Elarton
The Big Unit came up small, but the Dback offense bailed him out. 3 runs in the top of the 7th turned a 1 run lead into a secure 4 run lead. Steve Finley played a tight centerfield for the victors and went 2 for 3 with a triple and 3 RBI's. Carl Everett was 3-4 for Houston to knock in 3 of their 5 runs in a losing cause.
GAME 2 - HOU 7, ARI 1
Daal vs Hampton
Mike Hampton gave up just 1 run on 4 hits in 7 innings of work before entrusting his 6 run lead to the bullpen. Daal, while not spectacular, was also the victim of 2 key errors that contributed to 4 unearned runs and hastened his exit. Hampton also supplied the offensive firepower going 2 for 3 with 2 runs scored and 2 runs knocked in as well as a rare triple hit by a pitcher.
GAME 3 - HOU 5, ARI 0
Lima vs Benes
They headline reads: "LIMA TIME", as Jose Lima goes the distance with a tidy 106 pitch complete game 3 hit shutout. Lima spent 6 innings protecting a 2-0 lead before the 'Stros delivered 3 runs in the 7th to put it out of reach in light of the way Lima was dealing. Rightfielder Stan Javier had half of Houston's 8 hits by going 4 for 4 with 2 runs scored. Jeff Bagwell had 3 RBI's.
GAME 4 - ARI 5, HOU 1
Reynolds vs Reynoso
Reynoso went 7 1/3 and gave up just 3 hits without yielding a run. Manager Howie Fortel sensed his hurler was low on octane, so he went to the pen and had Gregg Olson finish it out. Reynolds went 7 innings for Houston and didn't allow a run in 6 of them. Unfortunately for him he allowed 5 big runs in the bottom of the 4th. Once again the start pitcher was also the star batsman. Armando Reynoso went a perfect 3 for 3 with 1 RBI to earn top start status in a series where both teams broke even.
