Philadelphia, Sept. 28 -- Miguel Tejada had four hits, three runs and an RBI Monday to lead the Houston Astros to an 8-2 victory over Philadelphia.

Jeff Keppinger was 3-for-5 with two RBI and Carlos Lee had a two-run double for the Astros.

Yorman Bazardo (1-2), who previously had a 9.55 earned run average in eight games this season, gave up two runs on two hits in 5 2/3 innings in his first win since 2007.

Shane Victorino doubled, tripled and scored for the Phillies, whose magic number to clinch their third consecutive NL East crown remains at three.

Losing pitcher Cole Hamels (10-10) was charged with six runs and nine hits over 6 2/3 innings.
