Houston blanked the Mets today while their offense produced eight runs. Here are the details from astros.mlb.com:
'Stros at the plate: “Ivan Rodriguez hit his first spring homer, a solo shot in the fifth inning. The Astros scored six in that frame, with a timely contribution from Geoff Blum, who drove in three with a double.
Michael Bourn singled and came all the way around to score on an error by Bobby Kielty.”
I-Rod goes yard and Blum is starting to show signs of life. I could get used to this whole winning thing. Hopefully come April it won’t be out of the ordinary.
'Stros on the bump: “Wandy Rodriguez allowed two hits over four innings, walking two and striking out two. LaTroy Hawkins pitched one scoreless inning, as did Doug Brocail. ”
Glad to see Wandy, the rumored No. 2 starter, pitching and feeling well.
Houston’s Grapefruit League record currently stands at 6-16-3. Keep shooting for the double digits in the win column H-town! By the way, Houston has scored 18 runs in the last two games!
