Biggio legged out an infield single with one out in the second and Mark Loretta followed with a base hit to left. Biggio then stole third and scored when Berkman smacked a ground-rule double to left.

Wells then gave Lee a free pass, loading the bases for Ensberg, who walked to force home another run and give Houston a 6-1 advantage.

Biggio belted his seventh homer of the year in the third, a bomb to left.
