 HOUSTON (AP) - Troy Glaus hit a two-run homer, Russ Ortiz pitched well enough to win and the Arizona Diamondbacks roughed up Andy Pettitte before holding off the Houston Astros 7-6 Wednesday night.
Glaus finished 3-for-5, helping the Diamondbacks match a season high with 14 hits against an Astros team that had won three straight, including consecutive shutouts.
Brian Bruney pitched the ninth for his third save, sending Arizona to its sixth win in eight games. He allowed Craig Biggio's fifth homer in six games, a solo shot, but retired Adam Everett on a liner to third with the bases loaded to end it. The Diamondbacks (24-17) remained a game behind NL-West leading San Diego.
