| Eagles Beat Senators, 6-5 | Both teams had their chances, but the Houston Eagles eventually prevailed.

Pedroia was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times for the Eagles on the day. Fritz Peterson picked up the win with 5.2 innings of work. He allowed 5 runs on 5 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 3. On the season, he is now 12-11. Takashi Saito converted his 35th save in 39 tries.
Pedroia made an early impact for Houston when he stroked his 7th home run of the season. The solo home run, which came in the top of the third, put the Eagles on top, 6-0.
"Enjoyed this one," Pedroia told the Houston Daily. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
Houston has now won 6 straight.
