Houston Beats New York City, Goes to 25-14
The Houston Mavericks defeated the New York City Blues by the score of 6-3, with the biggest share of the credit going to designated hitter Abel Zimmer. Zimmer was 2 for 2 with a double and 2 walks, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Mavericks on the day. Steve Carter, the winner, improved to 5-5. He held the Blues to 3 runs on 6 hits over 7 innings, while striking out 4 and walking 1. The win makes Houston 25-14.

Had Rafael Angulo not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Angulo hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Mavericks.

"I just try to bring what I bring to this team," said Zimmer.
