The drama continues

The Astros pulled off another exciting win, this time a 6-5 win over the Nationals that was won in the eighth inning. Prior to that, the lead changed hands three times. The Nats scored runs in the second, fifth, seventh and eighth innings but the Astros answered with their own runs in the bottom halves of those same innings, in addition to the run they scored in the third.

Three random thoughts

1. Carlos Lee was 3-for-4 with three RBI, including the go-ahead double in the eighth inning, which came when Austin Kearns dove and missed a line drive in right field.
2. Lance Berkman continued his monster season with a 5-for-5 performance with two doubles and an RBI. He even stole two bases.
3. Shawn Chacon has yet to get a decision in seven starts. Before tonight, it was fortunate because he deserved wins. But tonight he gave up four runs through seven innings and the offense bailed him out.
