The scoop from stros.com:
Carlos Lee…er the Stros at the plate: “Michael Bourn opened the game with a triple and scored on Pudge Rodriguez’s base hit. Carlos Lee lifted a sacrifice fly to score Rodriguez, who had advanced to third on Darin Erstad’s double. Lee drove in another run in the third with a double. Jason Smith led off the fifth with a double and scored on a Rodriguez base hit. Lee knocked a two-run homer in the seventh.”
More of this please. Thank you. Carlos could have won the game on his own with his four steaks.
Stros on the bump: “Russ Ortiz, the projected fifth starter, allowed three runs — two earned — on five hits over six innings. ”
Alyson Footer gives the 5th spot to Ortiz and I don’t think anyone else disagrees.
And the Houston Astros Grapefruit league record is: *drum roll please*
10-18-3
Double digit wins!
