That was more than enough offense for Fister, who won his seventh consecutive decision to improve to 8-3 by allowing two runs and four hits in seven innings. Gregorio Petit hit a ninth-inning grand slam off Tony Sipp to cut the lead to 10-7 and force the Astros to bring in Pat Neshek to get the final three outs.
