The Houston Astros steal seven bases, the most by any team in the majors in nearly four years, in an 8 – 5 loss to the Washington Nationals. The Astros, whose club record is eight stolen bases, last stole seven on April 13, 1999, against San Francisco. Florida was the last team in the majors to steal that many, on May 27, 2002, against the Mets. Washington third-string catcher Matt LeCroy is benched during the 7th inning after allowing the seven stolen bases and committing two errors. “If my daddy was managing this team, I’m sure he would have done the same thing”, LeCroy said.
