Sean Bergman filled in just fine. Bergman allowed 2 runs on 4 hits in 4 2\/3 innings to keep the 1999 Arizona Diamondbacks in check and pick up the 6-2 win. Omar Daal allowed just one run until the 6th inning. That&#8217;s when Mois\u00e9s Alou walked and Richard Hidalgo doubled him home to give Houston the lead. After Sean Berry singled, Carl Everett hit a 2-run home run to give the Astros a 5-1 lead. Alou hit a solo shot in the next inning to expand the lead. Houston relievers allowed just one hit in the final three innings. Despite a 4.28 ERA, Daal was 0-4 in the Tournament. With the loss, the Diamondbacks head home, while the Astros will face the 1994 Montreal Expos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/STB90s\/Scoresheets\/09-19-2024_HOU_ARI.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"'98 Astros @ '99 Diamondbacks - 9\/19\/24\">&#8217;98 Astros @ &#8217;99 Diamondbacks &#8211; 9\/19\/24<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1998 Houston Astros starter Randy Johnson retired just two batters before exiting the game with a pulled hamstring.
