Good production from center fielder Billy Hamilton helped the Houston Astros topple the Washington Nationals, 12-0. Hamilton went 4 for 5 with 2 triples and 2 doubles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 4 for the Astros. Houston is 4th in the American League West Division with a record of 39-48.

With Houston leading 1-0 in the top of the fourth, Hamilton hit a fastball from Nestor Cortes for a run-scoring triple. It was his 5th triple of the season and put the Astros ahead, 2-0.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Hamilton told a Houston Citizen reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."
