(September 24, 2008)--Randy Wolf pitched 6 2-3 strong innings, Lance
Berkman hit a two-run homer and the Houston Astros beat the
Cincinnati Reds 5-0 on Wednesday night to keep their slim playoff
hopes alive.

Houston pulled within 3½ games of the wild card with five games
left on its schedule.

Wolf (12-12) allowed eight hits, struck out seven and walked two, improving to 6-2 in 12 starts since being acquired from the Padres on July 22.
