His RBI triple in the 4th went to the deepest part of the park (around that stupid hill) and would have been a homer anywhere else. He got a cheap home run later in the game and finished with 4 RBI and 2 runs.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Joel Hanrahan<\/span> pitched five innings and gave up three runs to earn the victory. <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Wandy Rodriguez<\/span>, who had an unreal under 2 ERA at Minute Maid Park got lit up for 7 runs over 5 1\/3 innings.
