					| Lynch, Astros Notch Nifty 3-0 Win Over Montreal |  
					| The Houston Astros got a stellar performance from pitcher Brian Lynch, who handcuffed the Montreal offense en route to a win, 3-0, at Minute Maid Park. Lance Crumpton recorded the save for Houston, his 8th of the season. Houston is now 45-65, Montreal 67-40. 
 Lynch, who dominated for Houston, earned the victory to move to 7-14. He was in control the whole game, scattering 4 hits over 8 innings, while striking out 7.  Montreal batters could never bunch up enough hits to produce a rally.
 
 "We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Lynch.
