Wandy Rodriguez threw a fabulous game on Thursday night as he pitched eight innings against the Texas Rangers and the Astros defeated the Rangers by the score of 7-2. Rodriguez dominated the Rangers lineup as he only gave up five hits and one run while striking out nine batters and picking up the victory. Rodriguez is now 3-3 on the season.
Oscar Villarreal gave up one run in the ninth inning as he wasn’t able to shut down the Rangers in the ninth inning.
Hunter Pence had a three run triple in the first inning to lead the Astros at the plate with three rbi. David Newhan then had a two run double in the second inning as the Astros went up 5-0. The Astros weren’t done scoring in the second inning as Newhan then scored on a infield single by Lance Berkman. Carlos Lee then singled in Berkman for the final Astros run of the game.
The Astros have a huge series coming up against the Boston Red Sox starting on Friday. I have a feeling the Astros will lose two of three games. What do you think Astros fans?
