Astros Get to .500 With Sweep Over Marlins

by @ 6:28 am. Filed under 2007 Astros

The Astros are getting back on track and they won two more games this week in their sweep over the Marlins to push their record up to an even 6-6.  In the first game, Mark Loretta got it done with two hits, two RBIs and a run while Wandy Rodriguez threw a nice game.  He gave up one run on five hits and three walks with five strikeouts in six innings of work.  Chad Qualls ended up with the win though as he threw 1 2/3 innings and struck out three.

Last night, it was all Roy Oswalt and Carlos Lee.  Oswalt improved to 3-0 on the season and he gave up just one run on six hits and three walks with seven strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings.  Carlos Lee went three for four with a homerun, four RBIs and two runs in the 6-1 win.

The Astros are tied in the loss column with the first place Reds with the Cardinals sandwiched between the two teams.  And we can make that up as the Astros host the Reds for two games.  Chris Sampson will have his hands full though as he not only has to take on a tough Reds lineup, but he also has to keep pace with Reds’ ace Aaron Harang.
