Craig Biggio Gets 3,000 Hits and Then Some

by @ 2:59 pm. Filed under 2007 Astros

Craig Biggio finally did it and what a game it was.  He went five for six and it was just his second five hit game of his career.  It couldn’t have come at a better time because that third hit was the 3,000 of his career.  That game alone boosted his season batting average from .238 to .250.

And what a game this one was.  Carlos Lee belted a walk off grand slam in the bottom of the eleventh and Lance Berkman and Mike Lamb also went yard in the win.  And the win snapped a three game losing streak that pushed the Astros further down in the standings and even with the win, the Astros face a near insurmountable thirteen game deficit.  And with no Roger Clemens to swoop in and help the team, it’s looking like the Astros may be sellers come trade deadline time.

The Astros have game two against the Rockies tonight and it’ll be Chris Sampson going up against Josh Fogg.  Sampson has been solid for the Astros even without the strikeouts.  He doesn’t walk a lot of guys but he’s definitely a guy who, because the ball gets put in play a lot, can get beat up now and then.
