The Expos came back to score two runs with two outs in the 12th to beat the Stros 6-5 for their sixth win in a row, three of which have come over the hapless Stros.
Chad Harville (does he not have any minor league options left or what?) blew his second straight save opportunity and took the loss for the Stros. After yaks by Carlos Beltran, Jeff Kent, and Morgan Ensberg had tied the game in the ninth and then given the Stros a 5-4 lead in the 12th, Harville pitched the 12th and actually got the first two outs. He then proceeded to give up a tater, two walks, and the game winning single. Why is this guy still on the major league roster?
Roger Clemens was not sharp, but he battled through six innings and kept his club in the game until the outburst in the ninth. Five other Stros relievers before Harville looked good. Again, why is this guy still on the major league roster?
Stros fans get to see former phenom Carlos Hernandez today get his first start in two years on his road back from shoulder surgery. Oh yeah, did I remember to ask why Harville is still pitching for the major league club?
