More nasty weather rolled in and it turned a three game series into a two game series this weekend. The end result was a split and the Astros once again fell short of hitting the .500 mark.
In Friday’s game, it was all Carlos Lee. He homered three times and he drove in six runs in the Astros 9-6 win. Morgan Ensberg accounted for the other three runs with a three run homerun. Roy Oswalt improved to 2-0 despite getting hammered for six runs. A wins a win though.
Then on Saturday, Woody Williams was hammered. He gave up six runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings in the 8-5 loss. Jason Lane had the big hit with a three run homer and he finished with four RBIs.
The Marlins roll into town for two games beginning today. Wandy Rodriguez gets the start tonight and then Roy Oswalt will throw on Tuesday. A sweep would mean .500 and that’s the goal for the moment.
