HOUSTON, May 10 (UPI) -- Miguel Tejada and Carlos Lee drove in two runs apiece Saturday, helping the Houston Astros record a 5-4 win over the San Diego Padres.

Both players drove in runs in the pivotal bottom of the eighth after San Diego had taken a 4-3 lead.

Lee had three of Houston's six hits. Darin Erstad scored on a seventh-inning wild pitch by reliever and losing pitcher Luke Gregerson (0-3) and three others had one hit for the Astros, who have won two in a row following a three-game losing streak.

The winning pitcher was closer LaTroy Hawkins (1-0), despite a blown save chance in the top of the eighth.

David Eckstein and Chase Headley both had two RBI, while Eckstein and Chris Burke had two hits each for the Padres, who have lost three of four.

Houston center fielder Michael Bourn recorded his ninth stolen base this season, but also was also caught stealing for the third time.
