Berkman Takes the Lead
Lance Berkman breaks two ties with one swing of the bat. With the Astros-Giants game tied at seven in the top of the ninth, Lance leads off with a solo shot to put Houston on top 8-7. He also breaks the tie with Chase Utley for the major league lead in home runs. Berkman now leads with 15. Lance is 29 for 50 in May with seven doubles and seven home runs.
The Astros ruined a good start by Tim Lincecum. He struck out 10, but only lasted six innings. Erstad and Lee homered in the eighth to wipe out the Giants lead Erstad's three run shot tying the game at seven. The Astros have 17 home runs in May after hitting 30 in April. If they hold on for the win, they'll be in the wild card seat in the National League.
that game was absurd but in a good way. GO STROS!!!
