Astros 3, Braves 2: At Houston, Roger Clemens pitched seven strong innings on the eve of his 42nd birthday but was denied the win by his bullpen before Houston rebounded to beat Atlanta.

Cubs 5, Rockies 3: At Denver, Kerry Wood pitched eight innings despite a shaky start, and Derrek Lee hit his 21st homer in a five-run second that lifted Chicago over Colorado.
