51.   Girardi opened the inning with an infield single, then Walker launched a hard, high line drive toward left-center field.

52.   Glen Barker, who started in center field and reached on an infield single in the second, was the only Astro other than Biggio to collect a hit.

53.   Greg Vaughn followed by beating out an infield single, after Spiers had nearly robbed him with a great backhand play at third.

54.   Had Burks not walked, Galarraga would have had an infield single because Gagne had no chance for a play at first.

55.   Hargrove summoned Martin after an infield single by shortstop Royce Clayton advanced designated hitter Mike Simms to second with one out.

56.   He added an RBI single in the fourth inning and an infield single in the sixth.

57.   Greer then reached on a one-out infield single, a grounder into the right side hole that second baseman Ray Durham knocked down with a diving effort.

58.   Greg Colbrunn reached on an infield single and Ryan Klesko ripped a line drive to center.

59.   He allowed three hits, including two harmless infield singles.

60.   Hampton, who would probably have beaten the throw anyway, was safe with an infield single.
