Pettitte stops Stros skid
Andy Pettitte pitched a season-high eight innings as the Stros extended the D-Backs losing streak to 10 in a 5-2 victory on Wednesday night at the BOB in Phoenix.
Pettitte (6-3), who was 1-2 in his previous six starts, pitched in Phoenix for the first time since losing Games 2 and 6 of the 2001 World Series for the New York Yankees. He took a five-hit shutout into the eighth in this game before allowing Scott Hairston's double and Steve Finley's tater, which pulled the D-Backs to 3-2. Brad Lidge made things interesting by walking two in the ninth, but finally secured the save.
Carlos Beltran and Craig Biggio each hit a solo yak for Stros, who had 10 hits, but continued their season long trend of leaving 14 runners on base.
Roy O goes for the Stros tonight as they attempt to put a winning streak together at the expense of the hapless D-Backs. The Stros return to the Juice Box for a weekend series with the Brew Crew after their quick trip to Phoenix.
