HOUSTON (AP) — Craig Biggio collected his 3,000th hit and Carlos Lee made sure he could celebrate it in style.
Biggio had five hits for just the second time in his career and Lee hit a grand slam in the 11th inning to give the Houston Astros an 8-5 win over the Colorado Rockies on Thursday night.
“I think it was the way it was supposed to be done,” Biggio said as he choked back tears. “To have it happen here — that was a special atmosphere that was out there today.”
